|
Expecting Beiwacht to take up the running with Evaporate and Yorkshire close at hand. AUTUMN GLOW (8) hard to come up with anymore superlatives for this wonder mare, who looks set to remain unbeaten at her eleventh race start. Can smash through the $8 million prize money barrier and stamp herself as the best in the land. LADY SHENANDOAH (9) another from the Waller camp ready to run a strong 1500m third-up. Got out late with a slashing third in the G1 Canterbury Stakes over 1300m at Randwick. This will top her off for the Doncaster Hcp. PERICLES (2) bounced off his unlucky second in the G1 Cantala last November, with a tough first-up win over 1400m in the G1 Futurity Stakes at Caulfield. Will be ridden for luck early and is a run behind the leading pair. Minor place hope. EVAPORATE (3) sits on the good tempo after he gripped on late with a tough second in a fast run contest over 1600m in the G1 The All-Star Mile at Flemington. Solid top-three contender. BEIWACHT (10) much better performance when second in the G1 Canterbury Stakes. Slim place hope over this distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Glow will add another Group 1 to her CV.
