The Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) headlines a cracking day of racing at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
Last year’s race was won by Black Piranha while Ortensia, a $12 chance this year ran third. After adding the Doomben 10,000 to the three Group Ones they accumulated at the Sydney Easter Carnival the fairer sex are poised to continue their hot streak in Saturday’s Stradbroke Handicap.
Ultra consistent filly Melito ($6) ticks all the boxes, she has performed to the required level at her last four starts in Group One weight for age company, she is carrying 3.5kg under weight for age and is drawn to get the run of the race. Graceful Anna ($12) found the line well in last week’s BTC Cup and with the services of big race jockey Glen Boss from an inside alley she has to be included.
Despite drawing the car park Group One winning mare Ortensia ($12) will appreciate the bigger Eagle Farm circuit, the return of regular rider Craig Williams and the expected good tempo.
The Group One T.J.Smith for two year olds over 1600m is one of many interesting support races. Hopefully talented filly Ringa Ringa Rosie ($3.60) finds conditions to suit her here. She has been looking for extra distance, a big track and firm footing, all of which she will find on Saturday.
