Learning To Fly heads wide-open Surround Stakes betting market

Learning To Fly wins Widden Stakes
Learning To Fly fought on hard to claim the Widden Stakes.

The Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) for the three-year-old fillies is the second of two mouthwatering Group 1 clashes at Randwick this Saturday.

The $750,000 contest has drawn a quality field of 13 runners, headed by the Annabel Neasham-trained Learning To Fly.

After a sensational runner-up performance in the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) a fortnight ago, she is set to jump from barrier six as a +230 favourite with online bookmakers.

The Gary Portelli-trained Kimochi won the Light Fingers and has opened on the second line of betting at +550 along with Tiz Invincible, who didn’t have much luck in the same race on resumption.

Makerena (+550) comes through a different form-line after taking on the boys in the Group 3 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) and finishing runner-up.

Having won the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) last preparation, Tropical Squall (+900) is set to resume for the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott barn, while the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman camp has sent Roll On High (+1400) to Sydney for the first time.

Another notable returner in this event comes from the Godolphin stable as Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) winner Zardozi (+2200) gets set to kick off her autumn campaign.

The Surround Stakes is race eight on the Randwick ticket and is scheduled to get underway at 4:35pm local time.
