Classic Contenders in Action Today

Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 12

The Group III Kembla Classic (1600m) this afternoon and the Group II MVRC Alister Clark Stakes (2040m) later tonight at Moonee Valley feature a host of three year-olds with classic aspirations.



Race favourites Adelaide Ace (Savabeel) and Non Conformist (Rebel Raider) to test their class against VRC Oaks winner Miami Bound (Reliable Man (GB)) having her second run back from a spell with Think ‘n’ Fly (So You Think) on trial at trip but bred to appreciate this trip and further.



Race favourites Missile Mantra (Smart Missile) and Subpoenaed (Rip Van Winkle IRE) take on a host of up and comers including very promising Shout the Bar (Not a Single Doubt), who has drawn off the track.
