Charlie Appleby's Folkswood (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) who finished a gallant third behind Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) in the G1 Cox Plate (2040m) on Oct. 28, has proven in his two Australian runs that he is capable of capturing the Emirates S. (2000m), the final Group 1 of the Flemington Cup carnival. With [...]

With 10 of the 14 acceptors in Saturday's A$1-million G1 Darley Classic (1200m) at Flemington having last raced in either the G1 Manikato S. (1200m) at Moonee Valley on Oct. 27 or Royal Randwick's A$10-million The Everest on Oct. 14, the fresh horse on the scene is Godolphin's 4-year-old Impending (Aus) (Lonhro {Aus}). Ending his [...]

Two fillies head into Thursday's G1 VRC Oaks (2500m) at Flemington having won their past two starts, and although they are yet to meet on the race track the Aaron Purcell-trained Aloisia (NZ) (Azamour {Ire}) will start the short-priced favourite having won the G1 Thousand Guineas (160m) Oct. 14 followed by the G2 Vase (2040m) [...]

Impressive when having conditions to suit in the G3 Gloaming S. (1800m), the David Payne-trained Ace High (Aus) (High Chaparral {Ire}) should be able to take up the running again in the G1 Moet & Chandon Spring Champion S. on Saturday, ensuring he can control the race from the front. Having always been aimed towards [...]

Not only unbeaten in her last 20 starts, Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) is also, surprisingly, unbeaten in Melbourne and on Saturday will make her Flemington debut in the G1 Turnbull S. (2000m). With four wins over the trip, the Chris Waller-trained mare will tackle the A$500,000 race fourth-up and with a last start victory [...]

Overhauled last start in the G1 Makybe Diva S. (1600m) by Darren Weir's Humidor (NZ) (Teofilo {Ire}), Godolphin's MG1SW Hartnell (GB) (Authorized {Ire}) looks ready to add Sunday's G1 Underwood S. (1800m) to his already impressive record. On a likely path to the Spring's Cups double, Hartnell is progressing very nicely and should be able [...]

A large field of 16 have accepted for Sunday's G1 Sir Rupert Clarke S. (1400m) at Caulfield, and on paper there is probably more that can win the race than can't. While G1 Railway S. winner Scales Of Justice (Aus) (Not A Single Doubt {Aus}) appears the logical choice in the race, he will need [...]

The final of the three Group 1 races conducted at Randwick on Saturday sees the stayers tackle the G1 The Metropolitan (2400m). With only one Australian-bred stayer winning the race in the last eight years, it appears that this year's running won't be adding another, with only one of the 12 acceptors carrying the Aus [...]

Second in the past two running's of the G1 Doncaster H. (1600m), the Pat Webster-trained Happy Clapper (Aus) (Teofilo {Ire}) will finally get his chance to claim a 'major' over the famed Randwick mile when he lines up as favourite in Saturday's G1 Epsom Hcp (1600m). A winner of the G2 Tramway S. first-up before [...]

Set to jump away from barriers 10 and 11 respectively, Alizee (Aus) (Sepoy {Aus}) and Champagne Cuddles (Aus) (Not A Single Doubt {Aus}) appear on paper to be the class runners in Saturday's G1 Flight S. (1600m) at Royal Randwick. Having finished one-two the G2 Tea Rose S. (1400m) when they last clashed, with Alizee [...]

Carrying six and a half kilos less than her nearest rival and eight and a half to others, last season's G1 Golden Slipper S. winner She Will Reign (Aus) (Manhattan Rain {Aus}) is the lone 3-year-old filly in the G1 Moir S. (1000m) at Moonee Valley and will carry just 50 kilos on her back. [...]

In a similar vein of form that saw talented mare English (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) capture her maiden Group 1 victory in last year's All Aged S. (1400m) at her home track of Randwick, the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained 4-year-old looks right on target to add this Saturday's renewal of the race to [...]
