Early
season two-year-old racing spreads it's wings around Australia on Saturday with
13 first season sires represented and hopeful.
The most interesting is at Flemington where the only two-year-old
stakes race of the day is set to take place with the Listed Maribyrnong Trial
Stakes and three freshman horses have runners, all well enough placed in a
market which suggests an open race.
Wandjina has Grand Scholar, a $7 chance from the Tony McEvoy stable, Verrazano
has the John McArdle trained Mockery, a $9 chance and Brazen Beau has the Godolphin
entrant Mercury, a $14 chance in the early
markets.
In Brisbane, Doomben has a colts and a fillies division with Rubick and Better Than
Ready represented in the colts and four stallions represented in the fillies
race.
Rubick colt Ready to Rumble is the most favoured in terms of price although
both races contain short priced favourites.
In Western Australia, Safeguard has three runners entered at Belmont including
Marcee A Lady, which has trialled strongly and has the Simon Miller/William Pike
combination and Miss West Coast, which has also trialled nicely.
On the New Zealand South Island, Sacred Falls, Dissident and Charm Spirit have
runners at Riccarton.
