DARLEY CHAMPIONS SPRINT
The Group 1 Champions Sprint. Impossible to knock IMPERATRIZ (8) who has run world class ratings at all three wins this preparation, the past two in Group 1 races. This is a bit harder again and she has to handle the straight but if she does, she should win. IN SECRET (7) is the clear danger. She's 2/2 at the track and trip, both in G1 races. She was enormous in The Everest last start and if Imperatriz isn't at her best, she'll pounce. BELLA NIPOTINA (6) flew late to win last week at Rosehill over 1300m. She's a very good mare but her straight track form is a small query. ASFOORA (10) gave a huge kick two back in the G1 Moir Stakes but Imperatriz rounded her up. Her win since was very good, but 1200m against these is a whole different level. BUENOS NOCHES (2) is a good horse on his day and could get into the placings.
