The Go For Wand Handicap – Grade III  

11/27/2015   14:00   11/22/2015 3:00   AQU   Race #6   1m   Dirt   Graded Stake
Purse $300.000  For Fillies And Mares Three Years Old And Upward.

1 Midnight Wild, trained by Maxmillion Farm
This lightly raced filly only has one win to her name but has run some great races at the very top level.
Breaking her maiden at the start of the year she managed a third in the grade two
Black Susan and a great second in the grade two Summer Oaks. Most recently she was third in the
Fleet Indian all of which adds up to an above average one race winner. The three year
olds have been on fire so you have to respect her chances despite a tough handicap mark.

2 Barbies Corvette, trained by Night Mare Racing
This four year deserves to weight and is clearly the class pick in the race. A winner of the grade one
Phipps Stakes back in June where she beat A Class Angie and Little Jen that one win puts her
head and shoulders above her rivals today. Add to that win a third in last years Ladies Classic and
placings in two other grade one events and you have to be thinking 122Lbs wont be enough to stop her.

3 Space Fairy, trained by Threshold
This filly has been winning races at a much lower level but has always had a touch of class. Whilst she
gets in here with a featherweight 5Lbs should never be enough to turn over Barbies Corvette. In HRP land
however much stranger things have happened and despite inferior form and inferior works i fully expect her
to be right in this at the end.

4 Aguichant, trained by Maxmillion Farm
Another three year but i have a feeling this could be the biggest danger to Barbies Corvette. A good second
in the grade two Chilukki last time out with four pounds more than she can carries today i can see her right
in this race at the end too. The wide draw may work if she can get a sit in behind the leaders but we have
also seen speed hold up recently so the wide push may also favour her.

SUMMARY

Barbies Corvette should win this by twenty lengths, well if this wasnt HRP that is. So i am still taking
Barbies Corvette but i sthink she will win by a neck from Aguichant with a nose back to Space Fairy.
