Added to the card for the first time in 2023 is the unlisted $1 million 7 Stakes (1600m) which replaces the George Main Stakes as the mile feature on the card and offers the winner an Epsom Handicap ballot exemption.

The meeting also sees the running of the Group 3 Bill Ritchie Handicap (1400m) offering the winner an Epsom Handicap ballot exemption along with the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes (2000m) for The Metropolitan hopefuls.

Part of the Princess’ Series of races, the Tea Rose Stakes is contested over 1400m at set weights plus penalties and offers a total of $300,000 in total prize money as of 2023.

Tea Rose Stakes Field

The Tea Rose Stakes race field attracts the season’s best middle-distance fillies heading towards a run in the Flight Stakes over a mile back at the track a fortnight later.

The fillies that line-up in the Tea Rose Stakes field each spring can come off a number of earlier fillies’ only races including the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) the month before, which Kimberly Star ran second in before her third in the 2015 Tea Rose Stakes two runs later.

Zougotcha (2022) was the last filly to complete the Silver Shadow Stakes – Tea Rose Stakes double.

The other popular lead-up run that is also part of the Princess’ Series for 3YO fillies is the Group 2 Furious Stakes (1200m). In 2014 the Furious Stakes winner Winx went on to run second in both the Tea Rose Stakes and Flight Stakes. She would later win a host of Group 1s including the 2015 and 2016 Cox Plate. That same year Blue Diamond winner and Golden Slipper runner-up Earthquake ran third in both the Furious Stakes and Tea Rose Stakes.

• To Win: #1 Manaal ($4.80 at time of publish) – BET NOW

There’s a big hype on Chris Waller’s unbeaten Autumn Glow who is odds-on to make it three-from-three but happy to stick with Manaal for the value here at this level. Michael Freedman’s Tassort filly is a Group 1 winner over the 1400m and is third-up and fit now ready to fire again. Last start she returned to winning form in the Group 2 Furious Stakes, albeit by a narrow margin, but happy to say she’ll improve off that and relish this distance now. Has options from a mid-field draw and can get the job done again on way to the Flight Stakes.
