Feature racing returns to Adelaide this Saturday with the running of the 2012 Queen Adelaide Stakes at Morphettville.
The Listed contest is worth $80,000 and run over a trip of 1050m with some of the regions finest two year old sprinters entered in the nominations.
The final field for the 2012 Queen Adelaide Stakes will be known tomorrow but for now these are the horses that are in the running.
All up there are 15 of them and given there’s 16 spots in the field each has a start should they be accepted for.
The highest rated of the bunch is Formidable for Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra.
The filly has earned a mark of 70 through the very beginning of her career and on paper she’s the pick of the bunch.
In fact it’s an interesting makeup of colts and geldings to fillies in this event.
While colts and geldings may usually feature more prominently on this occasions they make up just six of the 15 spots.
In addition to that their rankings aren’t overly impressive either with just Yocto on a 62 rating worthy of exception.
The 2012 Queen Adelaide Stakes is certainly a fantastic chance for the girls to score an early win over the boys then and it’s a race we’ll be following closely.
Check back tomorrow for the final field and then later in the week for our tips and betting updates.
