2026 INGLIS YEARLING SALES SERIES HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True.  

In a race without an obvious leader, either The Years or Pink Shalala can roll them along. Waller-trained TAZIMA (5) is a former UK galloper who just missed on the Kensington first-up over 1400m when expected to need it. He showed plenty when winning big over a middle distance at Redcar prior, and the step up to the mile looks ideal. JMac's booking adds to the confidence. Stablemate PINK SHALALA (4) posted his best number figure placing on the Kensington over 1550m. Keeps the in-form Lloyd and rates to go close. THE YEARS (6) has had interrupted preparations, but he's had two runs under the saddle this time in and is ready to show more. His best efforts are good enough for this. KYEEMA (7) comes out of the same race and didn't have the best of it as an equal favourite. Brought improving form, and a senior hoop goes on. Has claims if he jumps with them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tazima can win better races.
