Light Fingers Stakes Tips and Field Preview – 2017

Dual acceptor Global Glamour has eschewed the opportunity to take on Winx and will instead line up in her own age group in the Light Fingers Stakes (Race 8) over 1200m.

Perhaps influenced by the $115,000 on offer for first-place here rather than battling it out with Hartnell for the much smaller runners up check in the Apollo, connections obviously feel she is better placed here but we reckon that’s a mistake and will be going after her on Saturday.

The filly’s foray north ended in disappointment after she was nabbed right on the wire by Flying Jess in the Magic Millions Guineas and a wide draw here is a likely impediment to her chances.

Spright enjoyed a meteoric rise in 2016, progressing from a second-place finish in the Wellington Boot to a Group 3 win at Flemington on Oaks Day in the space of little more than six months and our traders expect her to race well fresh here.

Our spies were also particularly taken with the barrier trial performance of Rick Worthington’s Honesty Prevails out at Warwick Farm late last month and she’s another horse we have pinned our hopes on to topple the favourite.
