HOWDEN DESIRABLE STAKES
Results
Great race with a clear top four. KIMOCHI (3) hasn't managed a win all preparation but she's run second in all of the top fillies races in Sydney, including the G1 Flight Stakes last start. She's trialled very well in the freshen up and back to 1400m is ideal. Suited by the set weights and if she runs to form she'll take beating. COMMEMORATIVE (13) is the x-factor. She was brilliant winning on debut and charged late to just miss first up over 1200m. She should relish 1400m from a soft draw and may well end up the best horse in the race. FACILE (4) was far too good first up and strong again second up at Caulfield. Will give a sight. JOLIESTAR (10) was good behind Arctic Glamour last start and that form should hold up strongly. BATRANA (14) perhaps best of the rest.

Second run back. First-up after four months sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 14 at Caulfield in the G2 Tquil Star on October 21 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Coeur Volante carrying 57kg at $9. Previously second-up won by 1.4 len at Randwick Kensington 2yo Hcp May 10 over 1400m in soft going defeating Rhythm Of Love with 54.5kg at $8. Fitter but must improve sharply.
Third-up today. First-up 8th of 19 at this track in the LR Cap D'antibes on September 16 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Shesallshenanigans carrying 57kg at $201. Second run from a spell 10th of 14 at Caulfield in the G2 Tquil Star on October 21 over 1400m, 6 len behind Coeur Volante carrying 56kg at $26. Didn’t fire last time out but this suits.
Group 1 placegetter. Form hard to fault. Comes off a 38 day let-up. At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 12 at Randwick in the G1 Flight on September 30 over 1600m, 0.9 len behind Tropical Squall carrying 56kg at $6. Before that 2nd of 16 at Randwick in the G2 Tea Rose on September 16 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Tiz Invincible with 56kg at $4. Hasn't won this time in but brings the A-Grade form. Hard to beat.
Multiple Group 2 placegetter. Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up favourite; won by 0.6 len at Warwick Farm Grad Bm68 October 2 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Joliestar carrying 54kg at $1.40. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Gothic Stakes on October 21 over 1200m, head behind Arkansaw Kid with 54kg at $2.60. Talented filly who rates highly. Big chance again.
Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Ballarat 3yo F Mdn-Sw on October 26 over 1400m, head behind Tacumwah with 57kg at $1.80. The race before that 2nd of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 6 over 1200m, slow going neck behind Reprisal carrying 56kg at $3.80. Just missed last start but likely to struggle this time.
Group 1 placegetter. Last start 8th of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Classic on October 28 over 1600m, 5 len behind Skybird with 57kg at $7. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 13 at this track in the G2 E Manifold on October 7 over 1600m, slow going 1.5 len behind Zardozi carrying 56kg at $12. Genuine chance this time around.
Third-up today. Resuming won by 6 len at Moe Mdn-Sw September 28 over 1217m defeating Everett carrying 55kg at $1.20. Second run from a spell 8th of 14 at Caulfield in the G2 Tquil Star on October 21 over 1400m, 6 len behind Coeur Volante with 56kg at $17. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.
Useful type. At the latest run got back early 5th of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Classic on October 28 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Skybird carrying 57kg at $8. The race before that with blinkers first time; 5th of 12 at Randwick in the G1 Flight on September 30 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Tropical Squall carrying 56kg at $81. Will be winding up strongly.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up eased back early on 5th of 7 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Hcp on October 1 over 1000m, 8 len behind Hedged carrying 57kg at $21. Second-up raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Caulfield 3yo F SWP on October 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Sheva carrying 56kg at $26. Fully tested from this draw.
Third-up today. Resuming 2nd in a small field at Warwick Farm Grad Bm68 on October 2 over 1100m, slow going 0.6 len behind Facile carrying 57.5kg at $6.50. Last start 2nd of 12 at Randwick in the LR Reg Allen on October 14 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Arctic Glamour with 58kg at $4. Comes through some strong races and should be in the finish.
Useful type. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at Moonee Valley in the LR Crockett on October 28 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Gumdrops with 56kg at $6.50. Before that ran last of 10 at Moonee Valley in the LR Atlantic Jewel on September 9 over 1200m, 6 len behind Charm Stone carrying 56kg at $7.50. Don't underestimate.
Group 3 placegetter. At the latest run sat on the pace before fading second last of 10 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Classic on October 28 over 1600m, 6 len behind Skybird carrying 57kg at $11. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 13 at this track in the G2 E Manifold on October 7 over 1600m, slow going 3 len behind Zardozi with 56kg at $8.50. Will need plenty of luck from the wide draw.
Third race start. Promising on debut as favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 5 len at Canterbury 2yo F Mdn June 7 over 1100m in soft going defeating Wezza carrying 57.5kg at $1.60. Returned from break 2nd of 8 at Randwick F&M Bm78 on October 21 over 1200m, nose behind Kazou with 52kg at $2.60. Big run in defeat first up and oozes upside. Huge danger.
Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 4.5 len at Ballarat F&M Bm64 October 26 over 1400m defeating Our August Rose with 57kg at $2.10. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo F-Qlty on October 1 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Carina Queen carrying 55kg at $9.50. Not the worst.
Useful filly. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Caulfield 3yo F SWP on October 14 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Sheva carrying 56kg at $9.50. The race before that 5th of 9 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo F-Qlty on October 1 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Carina Queen carrying 54.5kg at $6.50. No surprise if she was in the finish.
Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 3.5 len win at Pakenham Mdn-Sw October 20 over 1400m defeating Vibrant Sun with 55kg at $1.60. The race before that 2nd of 10 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 27 over 1500m, head behind Aztec State with 56kg at $2.50. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.
Lining up for just third start. At debut, 2nd of 9 at Ballarat 3yo Mdn-Sw on September 22 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Sunset Dreaming carrying 56kg at $8.50. Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Ballarat 3yo F Mdn-Sw October 15 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Alectrona carrying 57kg at $2.30. Not going well enough to win this.
Getting off the mark on debut; won by a long-neck at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn-Sw October 20 over 1200m defeating Perfume River with 57kg at $16. Can't dismiss winning form but will find this tougher.
Claiming her maiden victory on debut; came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Warrnambool 3yo Mdn-Sw October 23 over 1200m defeating Dimora Queen carrying 56kg at $7. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.
Most recently favourite; won by 2.75 len at Kyneton Mdn-Sw October 24 over 1474m defeating Blue Chip Girl with 55kg at $1.80. The race before that 2nd of 7 at Mornington F&M Mdn-Sw on October 10 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Floozie carrying 55.5kg at $4. This is going to test her.
