2023 Inglis Sires’ Speed Map
I think Brave Mead will be much better with a bunny to chase, but with no real early speed here, I think they have to go forward, as will Bases Loaded. Maharba can potentially sit on speed, and Veight drawn wide likely has to roll the dice and see if a spot on speed is up for grabs.
2023 Inglis Sires’ Runner Preview:
1. Cylinder: Cylinder has the A1 form to take this out. He won his opening two runs for the prep and was strong each time. That ensured he was favourite in the Golden Slipper and looked home but had no answers late for the finale produced by Shinzo. He was beaten, but he still ran the 1200m strongly so 1400m will be fine and maps to get an ideal run in transit. Hard to beat.
2. Don Corleone: To me, nothing from the Slipper is turning the tables on Cylinder. Don Corleone was very good from off the speed, but I just can’t see how he beats home the favourite. Can’t have him as a winning threat.
3. Empire Of Japan: He is a colt with talent and was far from disgraced in the Slipper, but similar to Don Corleone, I can’t see him turning the tables on Cylinder.
4. Veight: Veight, potentially, could be one of the best horses in the race. 2/2 to start his career, the latest win being the VRC Sires where he gave them a spanking and got better as the race went on. He has the 1400m run under the belt, upside, timing…just the gate turns me off him. Not sure where he gets to in the run but if he gets luck, he can take this out.
5. Maharba: He has looked a 1400m horse since the first up run. He ran in the Pago Pago and was one paced but stuck on and was good in defeat behind subsequent Slipper winner Shinzo. Drawn wide, but if they slide forward, potentially lobs in the first few, he could be dangerous at a price.
6. Brave Mead: Brave Mead looks an elite talent and confident he measures up. He is on the quick back up after bolting in to win The Valley Pearl last Friday night, leading throughout to win comfortably. He didn’t really bust a gut to win that race, so he should have petrol left in the tank for this race and the way he finds the line, 1400m looks ideal and is hard to beat.
7. Disneck: He needs to find something easier. Plain last Saturday in a weak race, he ain’t troubling these.
8. Cafe Millennium: Cafe Millennium dodged the Slipper and has been kept on ice with this race in mind. He ran in the Todman where he was last in the run and made up headway without threatening behind Cylinder, clocking decent enough late splits. Tick over trial was a good piece of work and off the debut win, he was immediately penned as a Sires horse. Keen to see how he goes.
9. Bases Loaded: To me, I thought he would go to the Kindergarten, back to 1100m, rather than step up to 1400m here. He tried hard in the Pago Pago but I think at this stage of his career, 1400m is a bridge too far.
10. Militarize: Forgive/forget the Slipper run. He copped most of the backwash from the fall and pretty much went around like a barrier trial. He has talent…not sure he has enough to trouble these.
11. Butch Cassidy: Has done little wrong in two runs in Victoria. Caught the eye on debut down the straight at Flemington before putting away an average bunch at Mornington. Lands on speed and the way he seemingly relaxes in the run, 1400m is okay. One for exotics.
12. Bold And Blazen: Nice horse, will win a race…but not here.
13. Pier Pressure: I reckon she’d be in with a shout next Saturday in the Percy Sykes. This looks too tough of an ask.
