She’s among the favourites in the 2024 Inglis Sires’ (1400m) for two-year-olds, one of four elite races kicking off “The Championships” at Royal Randwick on Saturday.
The Inglis Sires’ field features 10 youngsters, with Lady Of Camelot aiming to join Fireburn (2022) as the latest fillies to win both the Golden Slipper and Inglis Sires’.
The consistent Written Tycoon daughter narrowly upset the field in the $5 million Slipper at Rosehill after a close second in Melbourne’s Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m).
This will be her second Randwick start and first since a fourth-place finish on debut last year.
Facing a slightly longer distance (1400m) this time, Lady Of Camelot has drawn barrier six with Blake Shinn in the saddle.
Current Inglis Sires’ betting at Ladbrokes places her second at $4.50 behind stablemate Storm Boy.
Storm Boy leads the Inglis Sires’ odds at $2.80.
The Justify colt seeks redemption after a disappointing third-place finish as the favourite in the Golden Slipper.
He was undefeated before that, including a victory in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m).
Ace hoop James McDonald takes the reins as Storm Boy looks to return to top form.
Waterhouse and Bott dominate the Inglis Sires’ field with four runners.
Prost, a Snitzel colt who won the Canonbury Stakes, and Anode, an I Am Invincible colt making his Group 1 debut, join the fray.
The race remains open with several other contenders.
Michael Freedman‘s filly Manaal, undefeated at Randwick including a recent win in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace, is a $6 hope.
Godolphin‘s Traffic Warden, coming off a big Group 2 Flemington win in the VRC Sires’ over the same distance, is also at $6.
Rounding out the single-figure fancies is Matt Laurie‘s Golden Slipper runner-up Coleman at $9.
