Adrian Knox Stakes - Form Comments

 

G3 - 2000m - Turf

 

1

Autumn Angel

Has won a G3 (2000m) three starts back. Won the G2 Kewney Stakes (1600m) by 0.2L at most recent start and the rise back to 2000m is ideal. Hard to beat.

 

2

Harlow Mist

Well beaten at last start when finished 6.1L 11 of 14 in G3 (1600m). Has been placed at the trip and is looking to the 2000m but needs to improve.

 

3

Waikato Girl

Will appreciate the increase in distance after finishing third over 1600m, beaten 1.2L, in G3 at last start. In the mix.

 

4

Noble Tess

Finished last at her most recent start over 1600m G3 at huge odds. Form doesnˇ¦t read good enough for this.

 

5

Heaven Bound

Still a maiden but has been placed four from seven. Finished second over 1800m, beaten 0.08L, at last start. Others much better.

 

6

Concello

Has won two at a much lower level and would need massive improvement to win this. Won a restricted 1500m race at Hawkesbury at last start by 0.36L.

  

7

Private Legacy

Was okay in last race when fourth in G3 over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Will be coming home strong from well back.

 

8

Kind Words

Wasnˇ¦t fancied when beaten 4.8L at last start in G3 Kembla Grange Classic (1600m). Has been competitive at Group level so worth including.

 

9

Last Straw

Led but faded in a restricted 1500m race at Rosehill when finished in front of one runner, beaten 3.6L.  Unlikely to threaten.

 

10

Global Pivot  

Withdrawn

 

11

Ahuriri

Won a maiden two starts ago over 1890m at Newcastle and then went down narrowly at last start over 1800m at Hawkesbury. Likely improver at distance.

 

12

Good Banter

Beaten 2.4L at last start in the Kembla Classic (1600m). Will benefit from the rise in distance and sure to be competitive. Has won one from six races.

  

13

Kenyada

A 1500m maiden winner who has been average at past two when tackling restricted races without success. Was beaten 2.76L over 1500m at last start.

 

14

Hippy Dreams

Has raced only three times for a win and a third. Won maiden at last start by 2.13L over 1600m at Wyong at short odds. Will have some interest at big odds.

 

15

Bush Girl

Yet to win from seven starts but has been placed three times. Was beaten 4.84L when third over 1850m at Newcastle at last start. Hard to mount a case. 

 

16

Ocean Diva

Just beaten at Scone last start over 1700m on a soft track. Still a maiden from eight tries. Has been placed three times but this much too difficult.  

 

 

Reserves

 

17

Seafall

Won a 1500m Rosehill maiden two starts back at big odds by 0.18L. Was disappointing at next start when 4.3L eighth in G3 Kembla Grange Classic (1600m). Unlikely to threaten.

 

18

Bright Red

Comes out of a 1600m maiden win at Wyong to tackle this. Has been placed at 2000m on a heavy track. Worth following if strikes similar conditions.

 

19

Miss Ghent

 

Finished fifth, beaten 2.45L, over 1400m at Albury at last start. Big step in distance and is an unlikely challenger.

 

20

Dances With Hooves

Has won two at a much lower grade. Won last start over 1600m by 4.75L at Tamworth. This is a massive rise in class.

 

21

Sheˇ¦s Got Veuve

Won her maiden at ninth attempt two starts ago by 1.61L over 1600m at Newcastle. Followed up with 2.06L fourth at Gosford at next start over 1600m. Unlikely.

 

22

Halkis

Won maiden at Sapphire Coast by 0.24L over 1400m in February. Was second a most recent start, beaten 1L at Kembla Grange over 1600m. This is way too hard.
