Map and thoughts for the G1 All Aged Stakes. It's a red hot field. I’m having a 2-way play on Beiwacht and Fangirl. Map Beiwacht, Briasa, Royal Patronage, Angel Capital Map – Jimmysstar, Magic Time, Kovalica, Headley Grange Early Speed: Beiwacht races best bowling along in front and looks likely to get control here. Royal Patronage holds all the answers as to how fast they will go depending on whether they contest the lead, sit outside or take a sit. Gate 10 looked a negative for Briasa at first glance but a lack of speed drawn inside could see him landing in a great spot 1 back. I have zero confidence in him running a strong 1400m after the way he threw in the towel over the final 100m in this race last year. Moderate tempo expected. Prediction: Beiwacht ticks a few boxes dropping back from 1500m a month between runs with a sharp trial in between. His 0.5L 2nd to Joliestar in the G1 Canterbury Stakes 2 starts back is good enough to win this. He is a great chance to get full control jumping from Gate 2 and was a 4.1L winner of the Golden Rose at his only ever go at 1400m. The $7.5 opening quote looks great value. Fangirl looks way undervalued opening at $9.5. She's being set up for a very different prep to what we are used to resuming in the All Aged before a possible Brisbane Winter Carnival. Her 4.2L 5th in her latest Warwick Farm trial won't jump off the page in the form guide but I thought it showed she is in great order. She settled towards the rear and was under a strong double grip from J Mac the whole way up the straight but absolutely trucked through the line the final 100m. It would’ve added more confidence to see J Mac stick but I’m sure it was a tough decision for him and it just adds extra value not paying the tax. The risk is whether she has begun to regress as a 7yo but there is enough of a price there to take it on for a mare bringing a 6: 3-1-2 Randwick G1 WFA 1400m record. Jimmysstar has been luckless this prep and hard to argue against him being opening favourite. I’ve had a pretty good run being against him when he draws low and wide of late so I can easily cop it if he is strong down the outside coming over the top of them.

$100 CHALLENGE - WEEK 10 🐎 Big days racing with the squad attacking the Quokka as the feature play today. Seems it’s Campione D🇮🇹 & Street Artist or bust for a lot of the table! Some swinging for home runs & some struggling for form late. Good luck punters go get em #BP 🧨

The Q1 Queen Elizabeth looks a real tactical affair even without Pride of Jenni. Map Lindermann, Dubai Honour, Sir Delius, Light Infantry Man Map - Aeliana, Wotton Verni, Autumn Glow (obviously has the class and jockey to overcome) Early Speed: Lindermann races best when bowling along in front and is drawn perfectly to do so. I would be surprised to see the same tactics from Dubai Honour as we saw in the Tancred when he blew up wobbling about late, more likely to see him take the sit and potentially be aggressive mid race. I have him landing in the 1-1 outside Light Infantry Man. Sir Delius is an interesting one. He will no doubt be ridden a lot more positively. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him roll right forward but I have finished with him landing 2 back and 1 off from what we have see in Aus. She has the class to overcome it but the map is a slight knock on AG for me. She will have 7 jockeys riding against her and will likely be locked up on the fence 2-3 back. Prediction: Autumn Glow deserves all the attention in what is a star studded Queen Elizabeth. Her 11 wins from 11 career starts says it all. Now padded with 3 G1s. She’s the obvious winner for me but risking 5% of my bank on a horse untried at the trip and with map risks at $1.4 isn’t how I’d like to play the race. Sir Delius looks set to peak 3rd up over 2000m and set for this race. He was outstanding when 1.1L 3rd to Aeliana last start whilst being a total forgive going back to last. He will be a lot more positive in this mapping to land 1-2 back and 1 off. Dubai Honour was huge last start setting a cracking tempo over 2400m in the Tancred. He looked the winner until the final 150m where the tough run told. The blinkers going on for the first time as an 8yo is interesting. Could it spark him up? Who knows.

I know. But off the back of two wins. Surely if you own it, you just send a truck to pick it up and send it straight to Uncle Chris or Uncle Bjorn
