23/02/2017

G1 - 1200m – Turf

1

Property

Exciting youngster owned by Hong Kong based Price Bloodstock. Won past two of only three starts. Ran on from midfield when impressive 0.75 lengths winner from Pariah in G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at 1100m on 11 February. Moreira rides.

2

Azazel

Ran on OK when 1.75 lengths 2nd to Property at 1000m on 26 January before caught wide on speed, from barrier 12, when 3.1 lengths 4th to Property in G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at 1100m on 11 February. Draws inside this time.

3

Jukebox

Enjoyed perfect run when 2 lengths winner from Coppergate in Inglis 2YO (1200m) at this track on 4 February. Won two from two. Up in grade but drawn for good run again.

4

Pariah

Won on debut at 1100m at Rosehill on 28 January before finishing hard when 0.75 lengths 2nd to Property in G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at 1100m on 11 February. The 1200m should suit.

5

Wait For No One

Fared best of the on speed runners when 0.85 lengths 3rd to Property in G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at 1100m on 11 February. Leaders don't have great record in this race but could surprise.

6

Aspect

Debut 1000m winner down straight course last November. Returned with moderate 4.7 lengths 7th (of 8) behind Formality in G3 Chairman's Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield on 4 February. Has to improve but step to 1200m likely to suit.

7

Cao Cao

Sound winner at 1000m at Moonee Valley in November. Then resumed with just fair 4 lengths 6th to Property in G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at 1100m on 11 February.

8

Taking Aim

Backs up from last Saturday when strong finishing head 2nd to Ducimus in Listed Talindert Stakes (1100m) at Flemington. Blinkers first time. Definite chance.

9

Muraahib

Steps up in class but won both starts in easy fashion. Latest was 5.5 lengths win from Anew Echo in Sale 1200m 2YO Handicap on 5 February. Barrier no help but obviously smart.

10

Will's Bid

Debut winner at 1140m before striking interference when 5.3 lengths 10th to Property in G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at 1100m on 11 February. Capable of better.

11

Catchy

First of the six fillies contesting the race (fillies have won three of past five Blue Diamonds). Unbeaten in three starts and impressive when strong on-pace winner by a nose from Limestone in G2 Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) at Caulfield on 11 February. That followed 2.25 lengths win from Property at 1100m. Go well.

12

Formality

Began quickly when solid 1.5 lengths winner from Time Awaits in G3 Chairman's Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield on 4 February. Won two from two and Ryan Moore expected to fly in to ride.

13

Tulip

Ran on from last to win at 1000m at Moonee Valley on debut. Then ridden closer when nose 2nd to Limestone in G3 Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies) at 1000m on 26 January.

14

Spoils

Led and held on fairly when 1.7 lengths 3rd to Formality in G3 Chairman's Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield on 4 February. Tongue tie goes on. Draws the outside barrier.

15

Roomooz

Best work late when 1.75 lengths 4th to Catchy in G2 Caulfield Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) at 1100m on 11 February and looks likely improver.

16

Blondie

Sound on pace win on debut when scored by 1.75 lengths from Zarpoya in Moonee Valley 1000m 2YO Maiden on 27 January. Runner-up then well beaten behind Catchy.

 

Reserve

 

17

Sheer Madness

Settled long way back and had little luck when 4.8 lengths 9th to Property in G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at 1100m on 11 February.
