2011 Millie Fox Stakes Form Guide
#1 Sacred Choice (Barrier – 13) (60.5kgs)
Trainer – Joseph Pride Jockey – n/a
Career Stats – 26s 8w 8p
Last Start – 6th at Randwick
This five year old mare probably has had the most impressive career to date but is up against it in this race. Carrying a monster weight from a wide barrier a win her would be one of the most impressive in an already stella career.

#2 Palacio De Cristal (Barrier – 16) (58kgs)
Trainer – Grahame Begg Jockey – n/a
Career Stats – 24s 5w 3p
Last Start – 9th at Flemington
This is a horse of undoubted quality but like Sacred Choice will need a huge performance to win the Mille Fox. She’s carrying a little less at 58kgs but will jump from the widest gate. Very little choice but to drop to the back and try to find a run forward.

#3 Graceful Anna (Barrier – 9) (55.5kgs)
Trainer – David Pfieffer Jockey – Brad Pengelly
Career Stats – 13s 6w 4p
Last Start – 2nd at Randwick
Second in the Breeders classic last start at Randwick and a veyr impressive overall win / place rate. With a much easier weight and better barrier than the first two horses Graceful Anna is probably the new favourite.

#4 Strawberry Field (Barrier – 7) (54.5kgs)
Trainer – Gerald Ryan Jockey – Hugh Bowman
Career Stats – 20s 3w 5p
Last Start – 7th at Randwick
This horse has promised a lot but never really delivered for Gerald Ryan. She likes to drop back and come home late but against this field you get the feeling she may be pushed a little further forward than usual.

#5 Hidden Wonder (Barrier – 5) (54kgs)
Trainer – Kris Lees Jockey – n/a
Career Stats – 47s 9w 14p
Last Start – 3rd at Flemington
This veteran horse has actually been in not too bad form of late, regularly in or near the placings. From barrier five there will be plenty of opportunity and certainly isn’t without a hope.

#6 Dances on Waves (Barrier – 3) (53.5kgs)
Trainer – Gerald Ryan Jockey – n/a
Career Stats – 10s 5w 1p
Last Start – Won at Randwick
With three wins in a row and a plum barrier Dances On Waves has to a real threat in this one. While she lacks the Group experience of some of the others she’ll be at the front early and could have the quality to run it out.

#7 Lovemelikearock (Barrier – 14) (53.5kgs)
Trainer – Anthony Cummings Jockey – n/a
Career Stats – 11s 3w 2p
Last Start – 4th at Caulfield
There horse will no doubt be presented well by Anthony Cummings but with scratchy form at best and a wide gate it’s hard to see her causing too much damage against this field.

#8 Marquardt (NZ) (Barrier – 15) (53.5kgs)
Trainer – John Thompson Jockey – Jim Byrne
Career Stats – 14s 3w 4p
Last Start – 4th at Randwick
Fourth in the Breeders Classic and seventh in the Myer Classic last year this horse does have the experience but has nothing to show for it. The wide gate only makes it harder to try and justify a win for this horse.

#9 Montana Flyer (Barrier – 6) (53.5kgs)
Trainer – Gai Waterhouse Jockey – Tommy Berry(a)
Career Stats – 24s 3w 7p
Last Start – 5th at Randwick
The last few preparations haven’t been kind to this horse at all. The middle barrier should let her get to the front which will help her cause but we’ll need to see a big form reversal. The Waterhouse stable has improved this season and Montana Flyer will need to do the same.

#10 Jersey Lily (Barrier – 4) (53kgs)
Trainer – Les Bridge Jockey – Tim Clark
Career Stats – 18s 3w 9p
Last Start – 8th at Randwick
Very poor first up last start but actually quite consistent in the last couple of preparations. She loves to place and from barrier four she’ll have every opportunity to make that happen again.

#11 Purrpurrlena (Barrier – 2) (53kgs)
Trainer – Grahame Begg Jockey – n/a
Career Stats – 23s 4w 8p
Last Start – 5th at Randwick
Placed in her five races before last start including a win before being spelled. Has only won once form seven on this track and once from five at this distance. Barrier two is effectively barrier 1 unless an emergency comes in so the race is hers to lose.

#12 Little Surfer Girl (Barrier – 11) (53kgs)
Trainer – Chris Waller Jockey – Glyn Schofield
Career Stats – 17s 4w 3p
Last Start – 12th at Flemington
Her stats aren’t overly pretty and last start was horrible, but there’s a bit in there to make a case. Three times she’s raced the track for two wins and twice at the distance for a win and a close second. Will be tough from barrier 11 but could be an each way at long odds.
