(Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos)A full field of 16 runners will line up in the $1 million Group 1 Australian Guineas at Flemington on Saturday afternoon. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained colt Jacquinot has opened as the $2.80 favourite with online bookmakers for what could be his last-ever race start before going to stud. The race favourite is one of two runners that brings different Group 1 form, with the Kevin & Bev Kelso-trained Legarto ($8) winning the New Zealand 1000 Guineas in November last year. Of the six runners that come through the Group 3 CS Hayes form line, there is no question that race winner Elliptical ($6.50) from the Anthony & Sam Freedman yard is the top seed as he goes into the Guineas second-up and stepping up to 1600m. Another of the interesting factors in the Australian Guineas and Randwick Guineas is that Attrition ($8) and Lindermann ($23) have accepted in both Group 1 three-year-old features, and their scratchings will affect both markets when they come out in the coming days. Along with the race favourite, the Price & Kent Jnr yard has another two runners in the race, Amenable ($12) and Maximillius ($23), with the former looking to be a definite knockout chance now that he takes the step up to 1600m. 2023 Australian Guineas final field No. Silks Horse Trainer Jockey Barrier Weight 1 Jacquinot Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) Damian Lane 11 57kg 2 Elliptical Anthony & Sam Freedman Blake Shinn 2 57kg 3 Osipenko Chris Waller TBC 13 57kg 4 Mr Maestro Andrew Forsman Ben Melham 15 57kg 5 Virtuous Circle Liam Howley Blaike McDougall 10 57kg 6 The Fortune Teller Ciaron Maher & David Eustace John Allen 6 57kg 7 Bank Maur Richard Laming Jye McNeil 17 57kg 8 Amenable Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) Damien Oliver 1 57kg 9 Elkington Road Mike Moroney Jamie Mott 4 57kg 10 Lindermann Chris Waller TBC 14 57kg 11 Muramasa Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young Daniel Moor 16 57kg 12 Maximullius Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) Ethan Brown 3 57kg 13 Holymanz Ciaron Maher & David Eustace Mark Zahra 5 57kg 14 Attrition Mitchell Freedman Jamie Kah 7 57kg 15 Legarto Ken & Bev Kelso Michael Dee 9 55kg 16 Laced Up Heels Luke Fernie Chris Parnham 12 55kg 17 Japanese Emperor (1E) Mike Moroney Daniel Stackhouse 8 57kg More horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
