Chris Waller’s dual Doncaster Mile winner Sacred Falls has been allocated the 59kg top weight for next month’s Epsom Handicap 2014, weights for the Royal Randwick feature announced by Racing NSW today.
There are officially 85 horses nominated for this year’s $500,000 Group 1 THE STAR Epsom Handicap (1600m), the 149th running of the race scheduled as one of two elite level features on October 4 in Sydney.
Heading the handicaps for the mile showdown is O’Reilly five-year-old Sacred Falls, a dual nominee for this weekend in the mix for both the Group 1 George Main Stakes (1600m) over the Epsom Handicap track and distance as well as Melbourne’s Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m).
Sacred Falls was eighth behind stablemate Boban in last year’s Epsom Handicap result carrying 56.5kg but has since won a second Doncaster Mile earning a notable rise in weights.
Boban, a $15 chance through Ladbrokes to win again this spring, meanwhile has been allocated the equal 58kg second top weight which is a full five kilos more than his weight last year.
Since the 2013 Epsom however Boban has won two other Group 1 races (Emirates Stakes, Chipping Norton Stakes), the now five-year-old last seen running fifth in the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) last Saturday.
Waller has a host of Epsom Handicap chances as he shoots for back-to-back wins this year including also Hawkspur (56.5kg) who is equal $11 fancy in the markets at Ladbrokes.com.au after the Purrealist gelding won the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) defeating five of his stable mates last time out.
Futures Epsom Handicap betting at Ladbrokes has six hopefuls sitting top of the markets at that quote including also Waller’s Doncaster Mile runner-up Royal Descent (55.5kg) who ran second in the Chelmsford.
With her 55.5kg Royal Descent is the heaviest-weighted mare this year and is a former winner of the ATC Oaks and was also runner-up under weight-for-age in the George Main Stakes last year.
Sacred Falls meanwhile is further down the markets at $17 along with Waller’s Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes (2000m) winner from last Saturday He’s Your Man allocated 52.5kg for the Epsom.
Along with Royal Descent and Hawkspur for Waller, the other top fancies in the latest Epsom Handicap odds at Ladbrokes.com.au are Chautaqua (52.5kg), Dissident (58kg), Lucia Valentina (53kg) and Toydini (55.5kg).
