2018 Aspiration Quality Nominations
The Aspiration Quality 2018 nominations close on Monday March 5, 2018 and will be released below as soon as available.
The official 2018 Aspiration Quality Nominations drew just the 10 fillies and mares with the Chris Waller-trained 2017 Queensland Oaks placegetter Oklahoma Girl the highest rated of the early entries. Shagra is the only three-year-old nominated for the race, the David Brideoake-trained filly looking to improve on her credible sixth when only 2.25 lengths beaten by Rimraam in the Group 3 The Vanity (1400m) at Flemington on February 17. Rimraam franked that form with a Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) third at Randwick last weekend.

Aspiration Quality History
The Aspiration Quality was inaugurated in 2006 making it one of Sydney’s youngest races. Lord Of The Land (2006) won the first edition and since then quality types including Sacred Choice (2010), Fibrillation (2012) and Heavens Above (2016) have added their names to the Aspiration Quality winners’ list.
Along with Randwick Racecourse the event has also taken place at Sydney’s Warwick Farm Racecourse (2011, 2013). It started as a Listed event but has been run as a Group 3 status race since 2014 and has always been part of the Randwick Guineas Day program.
