Thousand Guineas Form Guide & Tips
1. Kimochi ($10)
Kimochi has been a model of consistency throughout her career, including five consecutive placings.
She’s a talented type, and we’re not leaving her out of calculations.
2. Coeur Volante ($4.20)
After posting three consecutive wins, the filly by Proisir has every chance to win the Thousand Guineas.
There has been plenty of money come for her throughout the week, and we’re including her in selections at the each-way odds.
3. Skybird (Best Bet – $4)
The run of Skybird to win at The Valley was incredible, which is why she’s our top pick for the Group 1.
She settled right at the back of the field before flying home in the straight, and having a turn-of-foot makes her the one to beat.
4. Arctic Glamour ($7.50)
She couldn’t make it three on the bounce last time out at Randwick, but her two wins prior were solid.
The three-year-old filly by Frosted has yet to race in Melbourne, but after opening at $10, solid bets have come her way.
She’s a chance with the right trip in transit.
5. Carina Queen ($23)
She owns two wins from four starts, but she might need to improve to win this race, as the odds suggest.
6. Joliestar (Best Each Way – $6)
The Waller-trained filly won on debut before rattling off three consecutive second placings.
She comes off a tidy effort over 1400m, and rising to the mile is right up her alley, which is why she’s our best each-way.
7. Zourion ($14)
She showed good early speed when winning consecutive races. She has yet to win this prep, but based on her breeding, a win wouldn’t surprise us.
However, this is a tough field, and she could find it too tough.
8. Vivy Air ($26)
She won well at Seymour fresh up before placing behind Coeur Volante last time out.
It’s a solid form guide, but we would prefer backing her in something much easier.
9. Apache Song ($201)
Her form isn’t good enough for Group 1 level, as the odds suggest.
10. Enna’s Dream ($61)
Most of her best form has come in much easier races, so she could struggle to pick them up.
11. Ersa ($41)
The daughter of Lonhro hasn’t been far behind some nice types, but she might be a level below these runners.
$41 is about right.
12. Vibrant Sun ($23)
She looked good when winning at Geelong last time out. She won by eight lengths as an odds-on favourite, so she could add value.
Having Damien Oliver riding helps.
13. Quickster (Best Roughie – $18)
Quickster has yet to win from two starts, but there is some good betting interest, and the talent is there.
It’s a risky bet, but she has loads of upside.
