Race Preview

The G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes, a fantastic race as usual. Glad to see GROWING EMPIRE (1) accept after a busy Spring campaign. He's been favourite for this race for a while with two big wins to start the preparation before being nosed out in the G1 Manikato Stakes. He tackled the big guns in The Everest last start and tried awfully hard, only beaten narrowly by Bella Nipotina and Giga Kick. Like the wide draw and that he's had straight track experience. TRAFFIC WARDEN (3) was scratched at the barriers in The Everest when looking a huge chance. His Golden Rose run was excellent. Fresh, back to 1200m with a big turn of foot, he'll go close. LADY OF CAMELOT (13) outran her $41 price in The Everest when fourth and must be respected as a Golden Slipper winner. SWITZERLAND (5) hits this third-up off a big win at Rosehill and looks dangerous.
