SAF - KENILWORTH   10 Jan 2026
 
GOING: G

CARTIER PADDOCK STAKES 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 29)    

Strong tempo assured from Sukhumvit and Red Palace leading the charge. Hard to go past the class mare DOUBLE GRAND SLAM (5). Dual Grade 1 winner including this race last year over Red Palace. Was too strong fresh and excels second-up. Great record here and looks the one to beat again. REET PETITE (1)is an exciting filly thrown in the deep at latest when just missed in the Grade 1 Cape Fillies Guineas. Has upside and looks a top chance again. RAINBOW LORIKEET (4) has been sound in both runs this time in and looks ready to find best. Loves the course and distance and should be right in the finish. RED PALACE (10) was well off best last time. Runner-up in this last year and always competitive this level. Worth another chance.
