With Oakbank over for another year, we are beginning the trek toward the G1 Autumn carnival in Adelaide.
There are Listed races on the card and we think Whispering Brook can keep her form going off a strong win last time and win again.
She was great first up for the Weir team at Moonee Valley, racing right on the speed.
The little weight she gets off other well performed runners will be very handy and the stable seem to improve these horses new to the team – they especially have a lot of luck with Perth runners.
Now that she has regained confidence, this Manihi Classic looks a perfect race to race similarly to the resuming effort and control it.
That break she can get around the bend can be the difference.
In the other feature race, the Laelia Stakes, there is a filly coming from interstate that shapes as a big player.
Pandemonium has raced very well against nice horses this campaign so far.
Not far from Deprive and then leading all the way at Canterbury, she ran in the Kembla Grange Classic and was not beaten too far.
This is a big drop in standard even though only back to Listed company and from the draw does no work.
Positioning up near the leaders, as is this stable’s way, she will give a big kick and be tough to run down.
