The Australian 3-year-old filly Queen Assassin will face a class test in a six-furlong handicap at Sunshine Coast Racecourse, north of Brisbane on Saturday evening.
Queen Assassin was second in her debut last November and won a six-furlong maiden race at Doomben Racecourse a month later. In her lone start this year, Queen Assassin won a six-furlong handicap at tiny Kilcoy Racecourse on May, closing from third of seven to win by a length at 3-5.
Regarding the current 3-year-old fillies in Japan, there is Liberty Island and the rest.
Liberty Island was the unanimous choice for champion 2-year-old filly of 2022 and began her current season with a win in the Grade 1 Japanese 1000 Guineas at a mile at Hanshin Racecourse in April. She will be a strong favorite to win for the fourth time in her fifth start in Sunday’s Grade 1 Japanese Oaks for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/2 miles at Tokyo Racecourse.
The distance is new for Liberty Island, and should be within her range.
The multiple stakes winner Zaaki is on a familiar path through Australia’s leading races for older horses this month.
In May 2021, Zaaki won the Group 2 Hollindale Stakes and the Group 1 Doomben Cup at tracks in the Brisbane area. Last May, Zaaki won the Hollindale Stakes, but was third as the 1-4 favorite in the Doomben Cup.
So far this month, Zaaki has repeated his win in the Hollindale Stakes on May 6. He will be heavily favored to win the $660,800 Doomben Cup at 1 1/4 miles at Doomben Racecourse on Friday evening.
Introvert may be a favorite to oppose in a handicap at 1 1/4 miles at Port Macquarie Racecourse in Australia on Thursday evening.
Introvert will start at the distance for the first time in his 13th start after mixed recent performances. Introvert won consecutive races at about 1 3/16 miles at Ballina Racecourse earlier this year – a maiden race on March 30 and a first-condition handicap on April 13 – but was only sixth of 10 in a handicap at 1 3/8 miles at Grafton Racecourse on April 30.
In his 30-race career in Australia, Reliable Dude has raced at distances ranging from six furlongs in his debut in 2020 to 1 1/4 miles in more recent starts.
A 5-year-old New Zealand-bred, Reliable Dude has won at seven furlongs and a mile and has run well at 1 1/4 miles, including a nose loss at the distance at Hawkesbury Racecourse in March.
Reliable Dude is back at Hawkesbury for the longest race of his career at 1 5/16 miles on Wednesday evening.
A first start at a mile may lead to a second career win for Lyrical Gangster in a one-mile handicap at Warwick Farm Racecourse in Sydney, Australia, on Tuesday evening.
From the powerful Chris Waller stable, Lyrical Gangster won his debut in a maiden race at 6 1/4 furlongs at Newcastle on April 22 and followed with a third-place finish in a handicap at 7 1/2 furlongs at Kembla Grange on May 6.

Marhaba Ya Sanafi and Blue Rose Cen provided the long and short of it on Guineas Day on Sunday at Longchamp.
After Marhaba Ya Sanafi had scored a 26-1 upset in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains, Blue Rose Cen came through as the odds-on favorite in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches for 3-year-old fillies.
Blue Roce Cen provided a first classic race win for trainer Christopher Head and jockey Aurelien Lemaitre. Head is the son of former jockey and trainer Freddie Head, nephew of retired trainer Criquette Head-Maarek, and grandson of the late, great trainer Alec Head.
