Victoria Derby – Form Comments

G1 - 2500m – Turf

1

Hampton Court

Won 1600m Dulcify Stakes on 4 October before fast finishing 2.3 lengths win from First Seal and Sweynesse in 2000m G1 Spring Champion Stakes at Randwick on 11 October and looks the one to beat.

2

Moonovermanhattan

Held clear margin over rivals last Saturday when impressive 1.75 lengths winner from Atmosphere in the G2 2040m Vase at Moonee Valley and should run well.

3

Prentice

Likely to be big odds after struggling 15.75 lengths 10th to Moonovermanhattan in the Vase at Moonee Valley last week.

4

Firehouse Rock

Loomed up to win but faded last 50m when 1.05 lengths 3rd to Fontein Ruby in the 2000m Caulfield Classic on 18 October.

5

Magicool

Sound winner 1800m UCI Stakes at this track before blocked for clear run when 2.8 lengths 5th to Fontein Ruby in 2000m Caulfield Classic. Go well.

6

Lotion

Disappointed last time when 9.3 lengths 12th to Nozomi in 2200m Geelong Classic on 22 October after winning weaker race over 1800m at Morphettville.

7

Nozomi

Graduated from 1875m Maiden win at Kyneton to nose win over Preferment in the 2200m Geelong Classic on 22 October and looks a chance.

8

Light Up Manhattan

Ran 5.95 lengths 4th to Magicool in 1800m UCI Stakes at Flemington before 1.8 lengths 4th to Fontein Ruby in 2000m Caulfield Classic when had blinkers first time.

9

Bondeiger

Returned best late sectionals after conceding too great a start last week when 3.75 lengths 7th to Moonovermanhattan in 2040m Vase at Moonee Valley after sound wins at 1435m and 1600m.

10

Royal Standing

Good on pace effort when nose 2nd to Bondeiger over 1600m at Caulfield before 2.15 lengths 4th to Moonovermanhattan in 2040m Vase at Moonee Valley last Saturday.

11

Atmosphere

Maiden but promising. Ran neck 2nd to Magicool in 1800m UCI Stakes at Flemington before 1.75 lengths 2nd to Moonovermanhattan in 2040m Vase at Moonee Valley last Saturday.

12

Gouldian

Scratched from the Vase at Moonee Valley last Saturday when under injury cloud. That followed Warwick Farm 1600m Maiden win on 8 October. Promising but faces sharp rise in distance after missing run last week.

13

Preferment

Only got warm in last 100m when rallied late to be beaten just a nose behind Nozomi in the 2200m Geelong Classic and looks a genuine chance.

14

Cuban Fighter

Fair effort when 4.8 lengths 7th to Fontein Ruby in the 2000m Caulfield Classic on 18 October. Rise in distance should suit.

15

San Padre

Blocked for clear run in straight when 6.05 lengths 5th to Magicool in UCI Stakes before settling too far back when 7 lengths 8th to Moonovermanhattan in 2040m Vase at Moonee Valley last Saturday.

Reserve

 

17

Verreaux

Last run better than looks on paper when 4.2 lengths 7th to Nozomi in the 2200m Geelong Classic after settling long way back. Should run trip.
