Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 18, 2023 Journalists Share Posted October 18, 2023 Adam Hyeronimus will partner Tropical Squall again on Saturday, seeking back-to-back victories on the filly. Photo: Racing NSW The Group 3 Ethereal Stakes will follow the boys in the Caulfield Classic, with 13 runners accepting for the 2000m contest at Caulfield, where the race will be headed by Group 1 Flight Stakes winner Tropical Squall. After claiming the Flight Stakes, the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained filly will have to carry the extra weight and lump 59kg from barrier 12. The daughter of Prized Icon has won three of her four race starts, with the Flight victory obviously being her best performance to date and she is the current VRC Oaks favourite with online bookmakers. Outside of the top weight, Konasana from the Chris Waller yard appears to be very progressive, as she comes through her all-the-way victory over 1600m at Moonee Valley last start. Damian Lane will stick with the daughter of Dundeel, who currently shares the fifth line of betting in VRC Oaks markets with a few of her rivals that she will meet on Saturday. After a strong performance first-up this time in, Autumn Angel from the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman yard will bring strong form into the Ethereal Stakes, after she finished 1.55 lengths off subsequent Caulfield Guineas winner Griff last time out in the Group 2 Stutt Stakes. The Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained Coco Sun claimed the Listed Oaklands Plate during his debut preparation but has yet to find the winners circle since returning as a three-year-old. Similarly, Dolphin Skin from the Leon & Troy Corstens stable was another two-year-old Listed race winner but has been uninspiring at her two starts back in the Jim Moloney Stakes (11th of 12) and Edward Manifold Stakes (10th of 13) this campaign. 2023 Ethereal Stakes Final Field No. Silks Horse Trainer Jockey Barrier Weight 1 Tropical Squall Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Adam Hyeronimus 12 59kg 2 Dolphin Skin Leon & Troy Corstens Craig Williams 13 57kg 3 Coco Sun Tony & Calvin McEvoy Kerrin McEvoy 8 57kg 4 Autumn Angel Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman Billy Egan 3 56kg 5 Konasana Chris Waller Damian Lane 7 56kg 6 Grinzinger Belle Danny O’Brien Michael Dee 2 56kg 7 Basilinna Emma-Lee & David Browne Damien Oliver 11 56kg 8 Wings Of Song Patrick Payne Ben Melham 9 56kg 9 Bon Mistress Ken & Kasey Keys Blaike McDougall 5 56kg 10 Saxon Beauty Mark & Levi Kavanagh Jamie Kah 1 56kg 11 Another You Dan O’Sullivan Daniel Stackhouse 4 56kg 12 Everlasting Kiss Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young Blake Shinn 10 56kg 13 Lady Tempest Robbie Laing TBC 6 56kg More horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
