New Zealand 1000 Guineas Form Guide & Tips
(1) Alabama Lass (Best Bet – $2.45)
She owns four wins from five starts and we believe she is the best age-group runner in New Zealand.
The daughter of Alabama Express has yet to race over a mile, which is our only concern, but she won easily over 1400m last start.
She makes her own luck in front, and she could pinch a big break on Captured by Love.
(2) Captured by Love ($2.70)
The daughter of Written Tycoon didn’t fire at Te Aroha last start, which was disappointing. However, she could bounce back with the long Riccarton straight at her disposal.
She has time to wind up and show her electric turn-of-foot, which we saw when she rattled home for third behind 2000 Guineas winner Savaglee at Matamata.
A must-include for quinella picks.
(3) Love Poem ($11.00)
She ran second in the 2000 Guineas last week, which was a solid effort, and she’s a first four chance here.
There is much more depth to this field, but the daughter of Snitzel has done enough to be considered at double-figure odds.
(4) Connello ($16.00)
She comes off back-to-back wins at Hawera and Trentham, but those wins didn’t come at the top level.
Being able to handle wet tracks is a positive, with rain moving over the country, but she could get outclassed either way.
(5) Kitty Flash (Best Each Way – $11.00)
The filly by Ace High won at Taupo and Te Rapa before finishing second behind Alabama Lass, so that form checks out.
It was an excellent 1000 Guineas guide, and we have no worries about her seeing out the distance according to her breeding.
The odds are worth taking on an each-way basis.
(6) Raziah (Best Roughie – $16.00)
The Oaks Stud is winning all the big races this carnival, and Raziah is easily good enough to cause an upset.
She won at Riccarton and Ashburton before running second behind He’s Lucid in heavy conditions, so if the track is better than heavy, her odds will shorten.
Getting $16.00 is a great price, so don’t leave her out.
(7) Sexy and I Moet ($16.00)
We liked her win two starts ago at Tauranga before running fourth at Ellerslie, but she needs to find a length on that performance.
Barrier two adds to her appeal, but because there is so much depth in this race, we’re having to leave her out.
(8) Costae ($20.00)
Seeking three consecutive wins is Costae, who won at Ellerslie last time out. However, this is a fair rise in class.
We can’t see her handling it, hence the odds.
(9) Cloche ($41.00)
The southerner didn’t fire last time out and we can’t see her form improving enough to win at Group 1 level.
(10) Movin Out ($41.00)
Broke maidens with a win at Otaki last start but winning again at this level could be a stretch too far.
(11) Skymax ($46.00)
In good hands but she was found out last start at Ellerslie and it’s hard to see her form improving enough to win the 1000 Guineas.
