Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 28 Journalists Share Posted February 28 Learning To Fly fought on hard to claim the Widden Stakes. The Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) for the three-year-old fillies is the second of two mouthwatering Group 1 clashes at Randwick this Saturday. The $750,000 contest has drawn a quality field of 13 runners, headed by the Annabel Neasham-trained Learning To Fly. After a sensational runner-up performance in the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) a fortnight ago, she is set to jump from barrier six as a +230 favourite with online bookmakers. The Gary Portelli-trained Kimochi won the Light Fingers and has opened on the second line of betting at +550 along with Tiz Invincible, who didn’t have much luck in the same race on resumption. Makerena (+550) comes through a different form-line after taking on the boys in the Group 3 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) and finishing runner-up. Having won the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) last preparation, Tropical Squall (+900) is set to resume for the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott barn, while the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman camp has sent Roll On High (+1400) to Sydney for the first time. Another notable returner in this event comes from the Godolphin stable as Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) winner Zardozi (+2200) gets set to kick off her autumn campaign. The Surround Stakes is race eight on the Randwick ticket and is scheduled to get underway at 4:35pm local time. Surround Stakes 2024 field 1.
