Hamogany has already had a busy August in Australia, finishing third in a seven-furlong race at Forbes Racecourse and fifth against a solid field in the Narromine Cup at a mile. The distances may not have been to the liking of Hamogany, who will be favored to win a handicap at 1 1/4 miles at Bathurst Racecourse on Monday.
Korcho is a slight favorite in Sunday’s Taree Cup over 1 1/4 miles at Taree Racecourse. The distance is a good fit for the 5-year-old.
Campanelle will be out to give trainer Wesley Ward his third win in the Prix Morny on Sunday at Deauville, but the going could play against the American invader.
Love knows no bounds. Not this European racing season, at least, and certainly not Wednesday at York Racecourse in England, where Love, with little more than taps from jockey Ryan Moore, won the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks by five lengths.
The competition was too sharp for Hypersonic in a six-furlong handicap Aug. 1 at Moonee Valley Racecourse in Australia. For his fourth start at Bendigo Racecourse on Friday, Hypersonic faces an easier field and will race without blinkers for the first time. Hypersonic is expected to take his customary position near the front in a handicap at 5 1/2 furlongs, a distance that may be a better fit.
Ghaiyyath rocked in the Group 1 Coronation Cup in June, rolled to a two-length win over two-time Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Enable in July, and on Wednesday at York dominated a small but select bunch in the Group 1 Juddmonte International.
Con Te Partiro won Group 1 races in March and April after returning to racing when she failed to get into foal. The 7-year-old Con Te Partiro is still racing, and will have her first start of the new Australian season in Saturday's Group 1 Winx Stakes at seven furlongs at Royal Randwick.
Order Again has gone nearly 15 months without a win in Australia, racing at some of the country’s top tracks in minor stakes or handicaps in recent months. A journey to a smaller venue – Hawkesbury Racecourse on the outskirts of Sydney – on Thursday for the $108,600 Rowley Mile could provide an elusive win.
Love could be a filly good enough to conquer all. On her way to a date in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe this fall, she races for the first time in nearly two months Thursday in the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks.
From Germany to Dubai to England, 5-year-old Ghaiyyath has developed into an international star over the last year, and on Wednesday at York he will be favored to win his third straight Group 1 in the Juddmonte International.
