Victoria Mile For The Mares
Japan’s favourite mare, Embroidery, is back this weekend in the 1600-metre Group 1 Victoria Mile. As has become customary she is likely to start a warm market-elect however this is a strong race despite there being just a few chances. Kamunyak and Queen’s Walk were both beaten on their seasonal debut, however both can improve and prove some challenge for one of the world’s best racehorses.
Preakness Prize Up For Grabs
For the second year running we won’t see the Kentucky Derby winner back up in the Preakness however it’s still a strong list of contenders who will face the starter at Laurel Park. With the renovation of Pimlico in full swing, the race will be run at a different venue for the first time in living memory. Chip Honcho and Iron Honor did not contest the first leg of The Triple Crown however they hold sway early as the market leaders however many are given a chance in a quality affair.
Brisbane Carnival Kicks Off
Jimmysstar will hold much of the intrigue as the Brisbane Winter Carnival truly gets underway this weekend with the Doomben 10,000. Having proven to be in the same realm as some of the better sprinters in the country, the son of Per Incanto will jump from a middle gate.Napoleanic and Grafterburners are some of the key challengers however Private Eye, Devil Night and Beadman all can’t be ignored in the Group 1 showdown.
