It’s a battle among the Australian fillies this week in Victoria when The $75,000 Down Under Ladies Stakes\u00a0<\/STRONG>is run at 6.5 furlongs. This race is restricted to Australian owned fillies and has drawn six competitors. Let’s take a look at the field from the railout.<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/P> Modestly bred first time starter, who predictably is the longest shot on the board. This is a <\/FONT><\/SPAN>tough spot to begin a career, but on the bright side she only has to beat one horse to get a piece of the purse. She is by the little known and underused sire <\/FONT>Encounter(AUS)<\/FONT><\/A>,\u00a0a sire who trainer <\/FONT>aussie02<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0is fond of despite his stud record of one stakes winner out of his 41 sim runners. “<\/FONT>Encounter(AUS)<\/FONT><\/A> hasn’t really done much in the SIM, but dear i dream. I’m not sure this is the right spot for my filly, but we’ll take a shot anyway. You never know in racing”, <\/FONT>aussie02<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0told the media.<\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/P> SMACK MOUTH(AUS)<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7\/2<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> (CHOISIR (AUS) x AVENUE OF FLAGS x RORY’S JESTER(AUS))<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> Owner: <\/FONT>kkzadar<\/FONT><\/A><\/P> Jockey: <\/FONT>P Spratt <\/FONT><\/A>( 60 – 4 – 3 – 8 – 7% )<\/FONT><\/P> Record (4 : 3 – 0 – 1)<\/STRONG>\u00a0<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> After beginning her career with a hat trick of wins this chestnut daughter of the popular Australian sprinter <\/FONT>Choisir(AUS)<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0was beaten into third last time out. An off track that day may have compromised her chances, therefore she could be very dangerous with\u00a0a return to a fast track this weekend. She is unbeaten in two starts at 6.5 furlongs and her trainer is upbeat about his filly’s chances this weekend. “My filly’s record is really good and I’m hoping she can step up and win this race”.\u00a0<\/FONT>kkzadar<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0also gave a thumbs up to Smack Mouth’s sire <\/FONT>Choisir(AUS)<\/FONT><\/A>. “If anyone is thinking of breeding an Aussie sired cheapie, Choisir looks to have some real nice 2 year olds\u00a0coming through”.<\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT>\u00a0<\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/P> SISSON’S INDY<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2\/1<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> (A.P.

Indy<\/FONT><\/A>. Not a great record thus far in 7 career starts and this weekend’s 6.5 furlong distance may not be to her liking. However this is not a tough field and she should be in with a big shot on Saturday. Her future lies in the longer races as she showed last out when winning her two turn debut impressively. She could be a major factor next year\u00a0as the distances get longer.<\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT>\u00a0<\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/P> DROP DEAD GROUSE<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2\/1<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> (LEMON DROP KID x DEHERE x UNBRIDLED)<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> Owner: <\/FONT>lapa6<\/FONT><\/A><\/P> Jockey: <\/FONT>P Boyd<\/FONT><\/A> ( 75 – 5 – 6 – 10 – 7% ) <\/FONT><\/P> Record (0 : 0 – 0 – 0)<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> This filly is another who is making her debut in this race.\u00a0However, unlike Wishful Encounter who is the longest shot on the board, Drop Dead Grouse is co-favored at 2\/1. Punters looking to play this filly will be hoping here breeding can pull her through. She is out of a very good broodmare and her half sister has already shown promise in only 2 career starts. Even in this field I’ll have to take a stand against this filly from a wagering point of view. Just too short of a price for a fiily who is short on experience but may still\u00a0turn out to be very good.<\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT>\u00a0<\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/P> <\/SPAN>MEADOWBANK CHOICE(AUS)<\/FONT><\/A>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3\/1<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> (REDOUTE’S CHOICE (AUS) x PEINTRE CELEBRE (IRE) x SAINT BALLADO)<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> Owner: <\/FONT>pigeon5<\/FONT><\/A><\/P> Jockey: <\/FONT>R Dogs <\/FONT><\/A>( 170 – 11 – 20 – 18 – 6% )<\/FONT><\/P> Record (6\u00a0: 2 – 1 – 0)<\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT><\/P> <\/P> <\/STRONG>Back to the Australian breds. This daughter of <\/FONT>Redoute’s Choice(AUS)<\/FONT><\/A> is the owner of the highest speed figure in the field. However she will need a strong pace to set up her come from behind style.

After that encouraging effort her connections have\u00a0rolled the dice\u00a0and stepped her up to the Stakes ranks, hoping for another improvement. Trainer bcumming2 would also like this filly to win a stakes race for her sire <\/FONT>Ladoni(GB)<\/FONT><\/A>. “Out of all the horse I have bred this year (at least 100) I’d like to see a <\/FONT>Ladoni(GB)<\/FONT><\/A> sired horse win a stakes.\u00a0I think\u00a0I have bred about 30 Ladoni’s and none of these have turned out too good”.<\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT>\u00a0<\/P> That’s the field.
