2023 Eskimo Prince Stakes Day Preview

We have 10 races to assess at Royal Randwick this Saturday afternoon and 10 opportunities to build a bank.

Our full 2023 Eskimoe Prince Stakes Day Preview can be viewed below.

Race 1 - 12:20pm AEDT

Listed Lonhro Plate (1000m)

The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Sicilian looked the winner on debut when rounding the turn in the Group 3 Gimcrack at this track and distance back in October.

The daughter of I Am Invincible was run over the last 100m but she has won both trials leading into this first up assignment and looks a bigger and stronger filly for this prep.

1 Unit Sicilian

Race 2 - 12:55pm AEDT

Benchmark 78 Handicap (1600m)

Cosmic Minerva was an impressive winner first up at Gosford and has not been beaten far at his last couple at Rosehill. 

He chased gamely over 1500m last Saturday but ran out of time and the step up to the mile looks ideal at this stage of his prep.

2 Units Cosmic Minerva

Race 3 - 1:30pm AEDT

Benchmark 72 Handicap (1600m)

Lovetheinvasion has been racing consistently for quite some time and while she hasn’t won for a while, she isn’t far away.

Both runs this prep have been in Midway races in town and Tommy Berry has been replaced in order to give the horse some weight relief with the apprentice on board.

1/2 Unit E/W Lovetheinvasion

Race 4 - 2:05pm AEDT

Highway Handicap (1200m)

These highway races are often won by progressive types of horses and supido Beauty fits that profile well.

She was no match for them at The Valley when resuming but came out and scored as the favourite at Wagga next start making it three wins from four career starts.

Drawn well and represents good each way value.

2 Units E/W Supido Beauty

Race 5 - 2:40pm AEDT

Benchmark 78 Handicap (1300m)

Aravene put together back to back wins last prep by a combined 4.5 lengths before tackling the Group 1 QLD Oaks where she finished 10th.

She has a class advantage over this field and although this is well short of her preferred distance, she has drawn to get a lovely run in transit from barrier three.

1 Unit Aravene

Race 6 - 3:20pm AEDT

Drinkwise Mile (1600m)

Soulcombe is a very exciting staying prospect and this was evident when the import won in his Australian racing debut in November.

The son of Frankel won the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Flemington by 2.25 lengths and while this is well short of his ideal distance, he is clearly the best horse in the race.

2 Units Soulcombe

Race 7 - 4:00pm AEDT

Benchmark 94 Handicap (1000m)

Having showed a lot of promise as a young horse, Remarque was somewhat disappointing during last autumn but he certainly bounced back to form in the spring.

The son of Snitzel won his first two starts during his last campaign and was then beaten only 1.79 lengths in the Group 3 Sydney Stakes behind Rocketing By to close out the prep.

He’s being asked to carry a big weight first up but looked good in a recent trial.

1 Unit E/W Remarque

Race 8 - 4:40pm AEDT

Group 3 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m)

Aft Cabin is one of the most exciting and promising colts in the country and this was evident when he took out the Group 3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude by 3.5 lengths in September.

His spring was cut short after that win but he was impressive in a recent trial leading into this first up assignment and he is clearly the horse to beat in the feature race of the afternoon here at Royal Randwick.

4 Units Aft Cabin

Race 9 - 5:20pm AEDT

Benchmark 78 Handicap (1800m)

A first Australian win is not far away for the lightly raced six year old Kettle Hill and all three runs this prep have been full of merit.

He was beaten just over a length last start in a race very similar to this one.

The step up in distance will suit at this stage in the prep and he will be nearing peak fitness now.

2 Units Kettle Hill

Race 10 - 5:55pm AEDT

Benchmark 78 Handicap (1200m)

Lord Markel has been a very consistent performer for a long time now and he has come up an enormous price in the last.

He won a class 5 at the Gold Coast by five lengths during his last prep as well as an open class race by 2.3 lengths.

Three wins from six first up runs proves he flies fresh and although this is short of his ideal distance, he can run a race at a massive price.

1 Unit E/W Lord Markel
