- To Win: #2 Too Darn Lizzie ($3.80 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Tight betting battle at the top of the Angus Armanasco markets but think Too Darn Lizzie is the one to beat fresh taking on the resuming VRC Oaks winner Treasurethe Moment at this weight scale. She’s been a winning first-up performer previously and has a lovely record here at the Caulfield track (3:1-0-2). By gun sire Too Darn Hot, this Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott trained filly was a two-length Group 2 winner at this track and trip in the Thousand Guineas Prelude over the spring. At her latest she was up to a mile in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas running a close third and gets the chance to kick off another top campaign with a win here from barrier five with Blake Shinn riding.
