PREVIEW
Doncaster Mile
Star Melbourne mare Typhoon Tracy has drawn a wide barrier (14) in her bid to claim the Doncaster Mile. She is currently a clear cut favourite for the race at 3.00 with TAB Fixed Odds.
The field will be out to chase the Melbourne mare who is out to prove that she is the best horse out there and to lock in her Horse of the Year award. Her main rival for the award is Theseo and he also going to be one of her rivals in this race. Gai Waterhouse suprised everyone today with the annoncement that her star gelding, Theseo was going to run in this race. Theseo had prviously ran 1600m, 2000m and then up to 2400m for the BMW two weeks ago and is now having to drop back to 1600m, if any horse could do it it would be Theseo.
Brilliant Light won easily over his Doncaster Prelude rivals last weel, but that was a weak race but with good winning form expect Brilliant Light to be close once agian. Last years winner Vision and Power seems to be out of sorts at the moment compared to his fantastic form this time last year and Palacio De Cristal must be fancied also as she has been running well behind very good horses and is in good form without winning.
The main contenders though are from the Chris Waller stable, Rangirangdoo continues his quest for a Group 1 while stablemate Danleigh comes off a good win the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes.
Early Verdict: Peter Moody has a fantastic stable and Typhoon Tracy is the best of the lot, expect her to sit outside the front runners (most likely Theseo, if he runs) whilst getting her momentum up then unleashing at the top of the straight to take this one out, Typhoon Tracy to win.

Australian Oaks
The best fillies in the land are here for this race, with the one that is considered to be the best at the moment, Faint Perfume leading the betting at a short 2.30. Her arch-rival in Valdemoro runs with is up against Faint Perfume again after coming second to her in their previous Group 1 meetings in the VRC Oaks and the Vinery Stud. The two drew wide barriers with Valdemoro with the widest in 12 and Faint Perfume on her right in barrier 11.
Of the others Speedy Natalie had a fantastic run last week, easily winning from Status Quo and Spinnawitch, some decent runners in their own right. At a good price of 12/1 Once Were Wild should be forgiven for her first run at top level, her form before that was top notch winning by big margins. At a bigger price of 23.00 it might be worth noting Absolute Faith who ran third in the Vinery Stud.
Early Verdict*: Faint Perfume at equal weights might be hard to beat, but Speed Natalie at a generous price of 7.50 appeals more so than Faint Perfume. Maybe try Speedy Natalie each-way.

The Galaxy
A full field of 14 runners is in place for this Group 1 sprint over 1100m. Favourite for this race at the moment is a good mare in Ortensia who is resuming back from a break after she went over to the west to contest the races over there in the summer, she will be carrying 56.5kg for this event.
Group 1 winners in Rostova, Gold Trail and Typhoon Zed will also be competing in this event. Victorian filly Rostova is going into this race after a superb outing in the Robert Sangster at Morphettville last month where she beat a handy field of 18. Gold Trail who came third in last year's edition of this race has since added a Group 1 to his resume, winning the Railway over at Ellerslie. Dual Group 1 winner Typhoon Zed continues his solid season here after a sixth placing in the Challenge Stakes and a third in the Sebring Stakes carrying a tough 60kg on his back.
But the main threat has to promising Victorian sprinter Definitely Ready who has been coasting around the Victorian metro tracks lately. With only 52kg and Glen Boss on his back expect this 3yo gelding to roll away in front and control the race from there and it must be noted that Billy Egan who rode him two weeks ago said he was only at 85% even against a handy field, that he made look second rate, expect Kavanagh to have this Definitely ready and firing for this race.
Others worth mentioning are Swift Aillance, De Lightning Ridge and Shellscrape.
Early Verdict*: With Ortensia, Swift Alliance, Gold Trail and Typhoon Zed carrying big weights it might be better going with a horse carrying light weights. De Lightning Ridge and Definitely Ready come to mind when talking about light weights with Defintely Ready taking preference over De Lightning Ridge, due to his superior speed and potential, I think we are ready to see something special.
