HKJC WORLD POOL WAKEFUL STAKES
Hard to go past GETTA GOOD FEELING (1) who brings clearly the best form into this having tried hard behind Ole Dancer & Apocalyptic in the G1 Thousand Guineas last time out when beaten 1.1 lengths into third. The win prior in the G2 Edward Manifold was outstanding when held up and charging late, and 2000m shouldn't pose an issue at all. Rates clear and can stamp herself as Oaks favourite for Thursday. PRESTIGE SNITZEL (4) backs up from a much improved showing last week in the G2 Fillies Classic when working home for third. Off that run, 2000m should be fine. ETHEREUM GIRL (2) was well beaten in the Thousand Guineas off a slow speed but had been very good prior and could be an improver. FASHIONABLE (7) is progressive off a good maiden win at Hawkesbury over 1800m and looks suited up in trip. Suspect she'll measure up. VOTING RIGHTS (8) is also off a maiden win with some claims.
