Nine mares are set to feature in the Group 2 Tristarc Stakes (1400m) this Saturday at Caulfield, with many of those using this as a platform for the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) on November 4.
It’s brought some serious quality, with all nine gallopers bringing strong credentials to the $300,000 contest designated for the girls.
It’s C’est Magique from the Grahame Begg barn that currently holds favouritism with online bookmakers at +320, after finishing third in the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) a fortnight ago.
New Zealand Group 1 winner Skew Wiff (+360) brings an element of class from across the ditch, as Opie Bosson makes the trip to Melbourne to take the reins aboard the daughter of Savabeel.
Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman have two mares engaged, with Waltz On By (+400) and Shuffle Dancer (+1000) both seeking to improve after eye-catching performances in the Group 2 Rose Of Kingston Stakes (1400m).
The same can be said for Wrote To Arataki (+500) who also closed off gamely behind Life Lessons on October 7.
The remainder of the field all bring differing Sydney form, with the likes of Madame Pommery, Revolutionary Miss, and Call Di all at +900 apiece with online betting sites.
The Group 2 Tristarc Stakes kicks off the Caulfield quaddie and is set to jump at 3:50pm AEDT.
