Saturday’s Thousand Guineas sees star filly Aeliana head to the 1600m G1 feature as the favourite, following her impressive win in the Carbine Club Stakes during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
She faces a strong lineup of fillies, including Vanity winner Zeitung, who will have Jamie Kah aboard, adding a touch of class to the field.
Double Market, fresh off a G2 victory in the Fillies Classic for the Hayes’ stable, poses a serious threat.
Te Akau Racing’s promising filly Stage ‘N’ Screen also enters the mix, setting up an exciting clash of proven performers and emerging stars.
Aeliana is the clear cut favourite with betting sites in the market at $3.30 ahead of Declichy Boulevard and Zeitung both at $7.00.
