The countdown to next month’s $1 million three-year-old fillies’ race on October 12 continued on Tuesday with Racing Victoria releasing the official list of second acceptors for the Group 1 Thousand Guineas 2019.

Flit remains the favourite in the all-in Thousand Guineas betting market at Ladbrokes.com.au headlining a strong lineup of Godolphin hopefuls. The James Cummings-trained filly placed second in last month’s Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) after winning the Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (1200m) at Flemington back in March. Flit also holds a nomination in next weekend’s Group 1 Darley Flight Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley.
Also representing the blue colours is Lyre, winner of this year’s Ladbrokes Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m). Tenley, who has placed fifth and third since returning to the races in late August, can also be found on the first line of betting.
Second-elect Funstar firmed in the betting last weekend after flashing home late for an impressive win in the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m). With three wins from four starts to his name, Funstar makes up Chris Waller’s biggest Thousand Guineas chance.
Probabeel, trained by Jamie Richards, also moved towards the top of the market after running second behind Funstar last weekend.
