6:30am - SCHWEPPES SHERACO STAKES | 1200m | Group 2 | i

A mare sprint over the 1200m. These are usually close finishes and this looks no different. Early speed from ALASSIO out wide, with MIZZY and READY TO PROPHET kicking up too (tempo: FAIR). CHAMPAGNE CUDDLES should be right on their hammer, a super reliable mare that always tries hard, but is never dominant in her performances and needs luck from the inside. The race is so open, nice ratings at best from class mares I AM EXCITED (nice trial) and NOIRE (fair trials). MIZZY (better at Randwick?) and DYSLEXIC come from a form-line that looks slightly lesser, but they are fit and on the way up. FASIKA with big progression, but needs to go to a new level to win.
