Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 5 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 5 hours ago Lady Shenandoah winning the Group 1 Flight Stakes. Photo: bradleyphotos.com.au With high-profile stablemate Autumn Glow still a couple of weeks away from resuming, Lady Shenandoah has a chance to make an early mark in the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) at Randwick this Saturday. The traditional kick-off race for the three-year-old fillies has come too soon for the undefeated Autumn Glow, who is recovering from bone chip surgery to a knee. She only had her first barrier trial at Warwick Farm on Tuesday. Despite Autumn Glow’s absence, trainer Chris Waller will still be strongly represented in the 1200-metre race, with four runners, led by the daughter of Snitzel. A dominant winner of the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at just her fourth start, Lady Shenandoah has impressed in two recent trials, and Waller believes she can continue to build on her already strong record. “Lady Shenandoah has come back pretty sharp so we’re excited by that,” Waller said. “She’s pretty good. I think she did it all on raw ability (last campaign). “It was the early part of the three-year-old year, she did a pretty amazing job.” The $3.20 second-favourite with horse racing betting sites will be joined in the race by Waller’s Group 2-placed Snitzel fillies Declichy Boulevard and Lazzura, as well as Group 3 winner Amelita.
