Outstanding Field Set for Sangster

[Wandering Eyes]

First in five first-up runs from six starts, the Andrew Noblet-trained Super Cash (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}) was put away after victory in the G2 Rubiton S. in the spring and from barrier nine in Saturday’s G1 Robert Sangster S. (1200m), she should be able to take up a handy position.

Group 1-winning mare Viddora (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) was unlucky first-up when charging through late after getting squeezed at the start to finish in second, beaten by Perth visitor Dainty Tess (Aus) (War Chant {USA}), who she will once again meet.

Darren Weir’s Quilista (Aus) (Scandal Keeper) is an one-pacer who has won her last three impressively, with her win in the G2 Sapphire S. (1200m) last start being the same race used as a lead in by last year’s winner.

Successful in the race 12 months prior when defeating Viddora, Mick Price’s Secret Agenda (Aus) (Not A Single Doubt {Aus}) took third over 1100m behind Dainty Tess and Viddora on Apr. 21, and although she has a wide barrier here, she did jump from gate 16 last year before heading to the lead and proving impossible to catch.

An exciting line-up of 3-year-old fillies look to have the ability to take play their part in the finish with the last star G2 Arrowfield Stud S. winner Catchy (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) looking a great chance and although the trip may be a little short, dual Group 1 winner Shoals (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) is using this race as a possible launching pad to an international campaign targeted at Royal Ascot.

One at odds that has produced two powerful finishing bursts since joining the Mark Minervini stable is the 4-year-old mare Mica Lil (Aus) (Testa Rossa {Aus}). Winning over 1200m at her first Adelaide run, before an unlucky second over the same track and trip behind fellow Sangster runner Whispering Brook (Aus) (Hinchinbrook {Aus}), the Shayne Cahill-ridden mare could prove the value runner.
