今年は今週末がEasterということで恒例のRoyal Randwick。Easter SaturdayのDerby Dayの確定した出走馬なんかを見るに、いまいちGai Waterhouse師が目立たないという気がしてる。一方David Hayes師はやりすぎかと…。
TJ Smith S 1200m

| 1 | 4 | Red Oog | Brief Truce | Mary Julia | Zoffany | Hugh Bowman | Joseph Pride |
| 2 | 3 | Spark of Life | Nine Carat | Sparkling Bounty | Celestial Bounty | Glen Boss | Allan Denham |

| 6 | 2 | Virage de Fortune | Anabaa | Virage | Kenmare | Greg Childs | Bruce McLachlan |
6頭と少ないながらもメンバーとしては十分と言ったところ。Auatralian Sを勝っているVirage de Fortuneが有力。Red OogはDoomben 10000を勝ってますし、Spark of LifeはThe GalaxyやManikato Sの勝ち馬、SnitzelはOakleigh Plate連覇、Stratumは去年のGolden Slipper、Glamour PussはGoodwood Hとなんと出走メンバーは全てGI馬。何かどの馬名も見たことあるよなあとか思ったらこれだよ…。

| 15 | 2 | Playground Express | Success Express | Playground | Nediym | Craig Newitt | Kelly Scheweida |
今年はRedoute's Choiceが2頭しかいません。が、その片割れがGolden Slipperを勝ったMiss Finlandですので、かなり有力。もう一頭のRubricまで勝負に絡んできたらもうRedoute's Choiceには手がつけらんないってことになるんではありましょう。で、Golden Slipperでは良いところが無かったCasino Princeの巻き返しとかも気になる所ながら、このレース得意のGai Waterhouse師のDiego Garciaも面白いのではないかなという気がいたします。どうせDanehillの孫ですよ。とりあえずEncosta de LagoのDe Lago Mistにも期待したいところ。

前哨戦Rosehill Guineasの勝ち馬De Beersが有力と言う事になるのかな。VictoriaのDerbyの上位では3着のHeadturnerが参戦しているくらいですね。Special HarmonyよろしくDerby挑戦を仄めかしていたSerenade Roseは結局出てきませんでした。Oaksの方に出てくるのかなという感じ。
