Golden Slipper winner Estijaab is one of three two-year-old Group 1 winners among the 262 nominations for the 2018. Group 1 $500,000 Schweppes Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield on October 13.
The Team Hawkes trained Estijaab was an all the way winner in the Group 1 $3.5m Longines Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill in March and the other two juvenile winners during the 2018 Sydney Autumn Carnival, El Dorado Dreaming and Seabrook are also listed in the nominations for the Thousand Guineas.
The Ben Smith trained El Dordao Dreaming caused one of the major upsets of the Autumn Carnival when she stormed down the outside at $81 to win the Group 1 $1m Inglis Sires’ (1400m) at Randwick while Seabrook also came from near the tail of the field to win the Group 1 $500,000 Moet & Chandon Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Randwick.
The Mick Price trained Seabrook is also nominated for the Group 1 $2m Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield on the same day as the Thousand Guineas.
Estijaab, one of nine fillies from the Hawkes Racing Team entered for the Thousand Guineas, stepped out at the Rosehill barrier trials on Tuesday morning and co-trainer Michael Hawkes said that the Team was happy with her fifth placing after leading into the straight.
“She went really good. She was just out to stretch her legs this morning. She had a nice easy trial,” Michael Hawkes told Sky Racing.
“She jumped and went straight to the front and in the straight she went really really good and we are very happy.”
“She hit line solid while a lot of others went past her on the outside.”
“But really today was about getting her fitness levels up just to see if she had come back in great form which we think she has.”
Golden Slipper runner up Oohood is one of sixteen fillies from the Tony McEvoy stable among the nominations for the Thousand Guineas.
Oohood is yet to win a race from six starts but was also placed another two times at Group 1 level during her two year old season with a third in the $1.5m Ladbrokes Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield in February and was also second to El Dorado Dreaming in the Inglis Sires’.
McEvoy has also nominated his brilliant filly Sunlight who dominated her rivals in winning the $2m Magic Millions 2yo Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast in January before finishing third in the Golden Slipper.
The big stables have big nomination numbers for the Thousand Guineas with the Lindsay Park Team entering thirty-three, Chris Waller entering ten and Darren Weir has nineteen.
First acceptances for the 2018 Thousand Guineas are due on Tuesday, September 11 while the final field will be released on Tuesday, October 9.
