Kindergarten Stakes – 2024

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Espionage should prove hard to beat from the good draw. Looks a major player in this field and should give this a shake. Roselyn’s Star has plenty of upside and will prove tough to beat against these. Extreme Diva maps to get the run of the race from barrier 4. Embassy has claims from barrier 1 and looks a chance against this lot. Gap to the rest.

1. Espionage (3)

Racing in good fashion and looks very capable of taking out a race of this depth. Should get a nice run in transit and looks very well placed against this lot.

2. King Of Roseau (9)

Should be around the mark and has been racing okay. Top 3 chance.

3. Embassy (1)

Maps well from barrier 1, should get every possible hope in transit and looks a player against this field. Purton steers and this race is within reach.

4. Roselyn’s Star (8)

Looked brilliant last run and never in doubt of losing being eased up to the line. Harder here and different conditions but goes in the mix against these. Only knock is looks a smidge on the short side price wise.

5. Hezdarnhottoo (2)

Can’t have.

6. Perspiration (6)

Solid effort on debut in the Vain. Comes up with a good draw and interesting J-Mac rides. Looming around large odds and looks a good hope.

7. Extreme Diva (4)

Has been consistent this prep, will appreciate barrier 4 and Lane does the riding. A lot to like about its hopes here.

8. Hallett (5)

Big leap from maiden grade but did everything right on debut and the stable are on absolute fire right now. Hard to beat.

9. Trafalgar Square (7)

Can’t have.
