Australia; Think About It favored in Stradbroke Handicap

The early odds are a clear indication of the high regard afforded Think About It for the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane, Australia, on Friday evening.

The $1.99 million Stradbroke Handicap at seven furlongs is annually one of the toughest sprints of the year in Australia yet Think About It was the 2-1 favorite as of Thursday morning in a full field of 18.

Winning 8 of 9 starts will do that to a horse’s price.

Australia; Starlink looks to use closing tactics against a tough handicap field

Starlink can be an exciting filly to follow on Australia’s countryside tracks.

The 4-year-old Starlink is a closer who tends to leave it late. She won a seven-furlong handicap at Bathurst on May 25, rallying from sixth in a field of seven on the rail to prevail by less than a half-length.

Starlink has never won consecutive starts, but has a fine chance to do so in a handicap for fillies and mares at 6 1/2 furlongs at Dubbo Racecourse on Thursday evening. The handicap will be Starlink’s first start in a race exclusively for fillies and mares since last June.
