The $480,000 All Aged Stakes is one of two Group 1s at Randwick on the final day of Group 1 racing for the 2020 Sydney Autumn Carnival.
The All Aged Stakes is loaded with Group 1 winners and includes the Greg Hickman trained Pierata who is chasing back to back wins in the 1400m weight for age Feature after defeating Osborne Bulls last year.
Group 1 winners Santa Ana Lane, Dreamforce, Bivouac, Fierce Impact and Super Seth are among a quality All Aged Stakes field of fourteen plus two emergencies.
Pierata
Pierata was the winner of the All Aged Stakes last year and is warming up for back to back wins in the weight for age feature with two runs under his belt. The Greg Hickman trained five year old resumed with a fifth in the Group 1 Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill on March 21 followed by a fourth to Nature Strip in the Group 1 T J Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Day One of The Championships.
Santa Ana Lane
Five times Group 1 winner Santa Ana Lane made up plenty of ground from the back when second to Nature Strip in the Group 1 T J Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Day One of The Championships. The Anthony Freedman trained sprinter is a Group 1 winner over 1400m at Caulfield and is primed to add to his Group 1 tally.
Dreamforce
Dreamforce collected his first Group 1 winning trophy with his victory last start in the George Ryder Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on Golden Slipper Day. The John Thompson trained seven year old is a winner over the same course and distance as the All Aged Stakes and will strip as one of the main chances.
Fierce Impact
Fierce Impact is a proven performer at the highest level with a Group 1 winning double over 1600m during the 2019 Melbourne Spring Carnival in the Toorak Handicap and in the Cantala Stakes at Flemington. The Matthew Smith trained Fierce Impact is coming off a last start fourth in The All-Star Mile (1600m) at Caulfield on March 14 and can be included among the main chances.
Mister Sea Wolf
Mister Sea Wolf was Group 1 placed two starts back when third in the Canterbury Stakes (1300m) at Randwick but was then never a chance when twelfth in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick on Day One of The Championships and will need plenty of luck from back in a capacity field again.
Olmedo
French import Olmedo will have to lift his game if he is going mix it with the rest of the field after finishing eighth at his Australian debut in the Group 2 Ajax Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on March 14.
Star Of The Seas
Star Of The Seas produced a top performance to finish second to Nettoyer in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick on Day One of The Championships but could struggle in a high quality weight for age field.
White Moss
White Moss was back in the winner’s stall with an all the way win in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Randwick last Saturday but will find the All Aged Stakes a much tougher assignment.
Tofane
Tofane is facing a tough task stepping up to 1400m for the first time in the All Aged Stakes coming off a last start fifth in the Group 1 T J Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Day One of The Championships.
Fasika
Fasika has been racing well in in Group 2 and Group 3 grade but will find this tougher than her last start second to White Moss in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Randwick last Saturday.
Bivouac
Bivouac claimed his second Group 1 win with a brilliant first up display in the Newmarket Handicap over 1200m down the Flemington straight on March 7. The James Cummings trained three year old has performed okay at Group 1 level at his next two starts for a third in the William Reid Stakes (1200m) at The Valley and a sixth in the T J Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Day One of The Championships and looks suited stepping back up to 1400m.
Brandenburg
Brandenburg has performed well at Group 1 level at his last three starts and had his chance last start with a lightweight when third in the Doncaster Mile at Randwick on Day One of The Championships. Back to weight for age might test.
Super Seth
Caulfield Guineas winner Super Seth has been unplaced at his two Sydney Autumn Carnival starts and heads to the All Aged Stakes off an eighth in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick in Day One of The Championships. No easier here.
Standout
Standout scored a nice win two starts back in the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on February 1 but was then well beaten when sixth in the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) t Randwick on March 7. Has won a 795m Warwick Farm barrier trial since but will still have to improve more to be a threat.
Sylvia’s Mother
Sylvia’s Mother finished a long last when fifteenth in the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) at Rosehill on March 14 and looks tested here again.
Cosmic Force
Second emergency Cosmic Force will find a lot harder than his last start seventh in the Group 2 Arrowfield 2yo Sprint (1200m) at Randwick last Saturday.
