Eight Thirty Sprint kick-starts Classic campaign

The $1.05-million Eight Thirty Sprint marks the official commencement of the native-bred three-year-old campaign leading up to the Triple Crown series of races.

The maiden special weight contest, confined to fillies only, has attracted a field of seven runners and will run over 5 furlongs (1,000m) straight.

 

Below is the analysis of each runner and their chances of winning.

 

1. SECRET MISSION: (3 b f byBern Identity – All In) – One of five first-time runners in the line-up.
Secret Mission will surely benefit from this outing.

 

2. BROWNIE BROWN : (3 ch f by Shackleville – Aliente) – The most experience runner in the field with three starts.
Brownie Brown finished second on debut on December 10, 2023 over four furlongs (800m) and has not carried on since with two fifth-place finishes after.
Brownie Brown should not be disgraced here. Note: Cheekpieces on.

 

3.SHELLY THE ROCKET: ( 3 ch f by Tapilu – My Queen) – Has been working fairly well for her debut run here.
Shelly The Rocket could make a favourable impression the first time of asking.

 

4. ANOTHER MISSION: (3 ch f by Bern Identity – Moonlight Brew) – Full-sister to
Perfect Brew.
Another Mission has been working very well coming into this trophy race, and by all indications, she is poised to open her account right away.

 

5. SPEED ON WHEELS: (3 gr f bySpieth – Wheels of Law) – Nicely bred runners who also makes her debut here.
Speed on Wheels has been moving nicely in the mornings and is expected to run accordingly here.

 

6. KENCIA: (3 ch f by Sunshine N Shadow – Hija De Reina) – Came home in third place on debut behind stablemate
Oh So Smart and
Brownie Brown on December 10 over four furlongs.
Kencia has been training well since and with improvement expected, she should be challenging for top honours here.

7.RUBY’S LIGHT: (3 b f by Casual Trick – Outrageous) – Needs more time.
