High caliber Fillies and Mares

Distance	1600m
Grade	Group 1
Track Rating	Soft 5
Prizemoney	$1,000,000
Class	Fillies/Mares WFA
2018 winner	Alizee ($9)

The Queen of the Turf, formally known as the Coolmore Legacy, is held in high regard due to its Group 1 status, and the valuable credential it presents for both mares and fillies post their racing career.

This year's edition has attracted a high quality field with a number of older mares and three dynamic 3yo's.

I am with one that maps well and can come with a withering burst to claim all of these late.

 Racing Market Movers

Unforgotten has been well supported in early betting, firming from an opening quote of $15 to now trade at $11.

All other runners remain steady. 

 

 Key Runners

#1 Alizee $5.50

Gun mare who won this race last year and looks to hold a significant class edge here.

She is not disadvantaged at the weights (57kg) and should appreciate the weaker field.

Sets up beautifully from a midfield draw (gate 12) and can find the running line before charging home late. Yes. 

 

#2  Prompt Response $13

Was good in the George Ryder Stakes behind Winx when despite being beaten into seventh, still showed enough to suggest she is ready for this.

She gets the speed map favours from barrier 6 and can lead or race close-to-speed. 

Could take control and must be considered a leading hope.

 

#3 Daysee Doom $18

Gets to a mile for the first time this prep and this will suit following the last start 2 of 7 in the Emancipation Stakes.

However, the speed map does look ugly from gate 15 and she won't be ridden in her preferred on-pace pattern.

I just feel there is plenty against her from the draw and others make for more appeal. No.

  

#4 Dixie Blossoms $11 

Loves to get back and storm home late over the top.

She may struggle here with only a moderate tempo and is a big chance to be caught wide throughout.

The current $11 in betting appears unders and she is one to avoid. No.     

 

#7 Unforgotten $15 > $11 

Was well supported in betting to win the Doncaster Mile before finishing 13 of 20 after getting well back.

The stable must have a huge opinion considering they have entered at Group 1 level at her past three and are always bullish.

This could be her race and the Doncaster form must be respected. Yes.

 

#16 Amphitrite $9 

Is a gun 3yo filly and does receive weight (54.5kg) relief as a younger horse here under WFA.

The last start effort in the All Star Mile was good when she finished midfield 6 of 15 and the four week freshen since suits well.

Gets back into a midfield moving line position and could come with a dynamic run late. Top hope.

 

#17 Fundamentalist $14 

Will lead and be kicking for a long way as a lighter weighted horse (54.5kg).

She has competed at the highest level at her past three starts and the Doncaster effort last time out (11 of 20) showed enough to be competitive here.

Maps well and goes in everything. Yes. 

 

#17 Nakeeta Jane $8.50 

Drops back to 1600m after the Group 1 effort in the Vinery Stud Stakes at her latest, when she was well beaten after appearing to struggle with the journey. 

This distance suits and she could easily return to her best. Include. 

 

Of The Others

#5 Invincible Gem is racing well and did win the Emancipation Stakes last start.

She receives the dream run from gate 3 and can suck up in behind the entire trip.

Appears excellent value at the current $20.
