3 minute read

Dual Group 1-winner Pride of Dubai will carry the topweight of 60.5kg when he makes his return to racing in Saturday’s Eskimo Prince Stakes at Randwick.

The colt drew gate five in the field of 11 for the Group 3 feature over 1200 metres.

Pride of Dubai hasn’t raced since winning the Group 1 double of the Blue Diamond Stakes and ATC Sires Produce Stakes but has trialled twice to prepare for his return.

He is one of two Peter and Paul Snowden-trained runners in the field with Magic Millions Maiden winner Wolf Cry drawing gate eight.

Chris Waller had multiple entries but accepted with just two, Counterattack drawing gate two and Torgersen jumping from four.

John O’Shea was another that had multiple entries but also finished with two acceptors in Tarquin for James McDonald from gate three and Shards for Sam Clipperton drawing barrier nine.

Zoutenant has his first run for Gai Waterhouse and will be ridden by Brenton Avdulla from gate one while the consistent Voilier (Kathy O’Hara) jumps from six and Spill The Beans (Tim Clark) resumes from stall seven.

Last-start winners Le Romain and Cannyescent both had tough luck at the barrier draw coming up with gates 10 and 11 respectively.

Form Preview

Spill The Beans was an impressive first-up winner. He began well and shared the lead (racing on the outside of Voilier), going at a solid pace (first 600m 34.85). He went to the front on passing the 300m and then went on to score in very good style, looking set for a very good preparation. Le Romain raced in sixth place, wide the cover, before improving well at the home turn. He challenged strongly on passing the 200m and then battled well for a good second, just finding the winner too good. Counterattack was eighth on the rails, put in a run at the 300m (along the rails and probably in inferior going) and then held on quite well for a sound first-up third. Shards made ground from last in the 11-horse field for (3.6 lengths) fourth while Wolf Cry was seventh between runners, to the home turn and made ground without threatening for (3.7 lengths) fifth. Dual Group One winner Pride Of Dubai was fourth (wide with cover) to the home turn but faded in the straight, under his top weight (60.5kg) in the Soft6 conditions, to finish (8.7 lengths) tenth.
