In 2019 Gytrash ran second in The Heath 1100 results before winning the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning the following February.

The 2021 The Heath 1100 form was franked with the odds-on winner Masked Crusader going on to win the Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m) two runs later before his second to Nature Strip in that year’s The Everest results.

Asfoora franked The Heath 1100 Stakes form in 2023 with a next-up Group 1 Moir Stakes second. She continued on for a stellar season that included an international top-level Royal Ascot victory in the King Charles Stakes in the UK in June 2024.

  • To Win: #12 She’s Bulletproof ($6.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Wide open edition of The Heath and a tricky race from a betting perspective, but I think based on what she did last prep SHE’S BULLETPROOF (10) looks a very classy mare who is right up to winning at this level fresh. She’s yet to win first-up but has placed in all three of her resuming runs to date so isn’t exactly a flop when kicking off campaigns. Charlotte Littlefield’s now five-year-old daughter of Shooting To Win looks ready to hit peak maturity now, and she was so brave here at the highest level in the autumn when runner-up to now confirmed The Everest slot holder Jimmysstar in the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate at this track and trip. She may have only carried 52kg in that, but she lost few admirers up to six furlongs at The Valley after when fifth in the William Reid on Soft going. She’ll appreciate a genuine Good rated track and has Craig Williams booked for the ride. Can win.
