Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 18, 2023 Journalists Share Posted October 18, 2023 Inhibitions will line up in the Thousand Guineas Prelude. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) A capacity field is set to line-up in Saturday’s Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m), as 16 fillies stake their claim not only on the $300,000 prize packet, but also put their hand up for the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) on November 18. This is considered one of the more traditional lead-up races to the Thousand Guineas in years gone by, as many of these will press on for Group 1 glory later in the spring. The Andrew Gluyas-trained filly from Adelaide, Lovely Lookin’ holds favouritism early with online bookmakers at +380 after a dominant performance at Morphettville Parks on September 30. James McDonald and James Cummings combine with Inhibitions (+500) who finds herself as the second elect in the market after back-to-back minor placings at Moonee Valley. Coeur Volante (+650) was victorious in the Group 3 Scarborough Stakes (1200m) but has it all to do from barrier 17 under Blake Shinn. We start getting into those at double-figure odds; with Moesha seemingly the best of those at +900, while Bossy Nic (+1000) and Oz Empress (+1100) are hot on her heels. Two strong Sydney contenders have made their way south of the boarder as Lazzago (+1600) and Azula (+1400) bring strong autumn form references to the race and are bound to gain some supporters. The Thousand Guineas Prelude is the fifth race at Caulfield this Saturday and will get underway at 2:35pm AEDT. 2023 Thousand Guineas Prelude Final Field No. Silks Horse Trainer Jockey Barrier Weight 1 Lazzago Chris Waller Kerrin McEvoy 4 58kg 2 Bossy Nic Tony & Calvin McEvoy Harry Coffey 10 58kg 3 Coeur Volante Mike Moroney Blake Shinn 17 58kg 4 Zourion Mark Walker Michael Dee 9 58kg 5 Oz Empress Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Winona Costin 12 57kg 6 Zoukerette Ciaron Maher & David Eustace John Allen 5 57kg 7 Azula Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Tim Clark 6 57kg 8 Inhibitions James Cummings James McDonald 3 56kg 9 Rose Of Shalaa Matthew Williams Dean Yendall 14 56kg 10 Apache Song Michael Trott Craig Williams 7 56kg 11 Nodachi Mathew Ellerton Damian Lane 16 56kg 12 Lovely Lookin’ Andrew Gluyas Jamie Kah 8 56kg 13 Vivy Air Archie Alexander Declan Bates 11 56kg 14 Moesha Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman Billy Egan 13 56kg 15 Floozie Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) Mark Zahra 2 56kg 16 Matawai Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) Ben Melham 1 56kg 17 Stellar Mofeed (1E) Kevin Corstens Daniel Stackhouse 15 56kg More horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
