Shortest win price
Fringilla (8)
2.80
The Sharp Eit Solutions Ethereal Stakes is a Group 3 sprint for three-year-old fillies over 2000 metres at Caulfield on a Good 4 track under fine conditions at 12:50 pm AEDT. The win market is tight at the top: Fringilla leads the order, followed by Miss Waititi, Voynichese, and Your Colour. This is a genuine test of stamina for the division, and the market reflects genuine uncertainty about which filly will handle the extra ground.
Fringilla, trained by Ben, Will & Jd Hayes and ridden by Ethan Brown, arrives as shortest-priced runner having won at Geelong over 1765 metres on her last start, kicking away from rivals with a decisive three-length margin. Brown is a key rider performing 63 per cent above market expectations, which adds weight to the booking. Miss Waititi sits next, rated 100 by IRD and looking well placed after breaking clear to win impressively at Flemington second-up—more ground should suit. Craig Williams' recent form sits 15 per cent above career average. Voynichese is on a quick back-up after running on okay at Rosehill without troubling at 1800 metres; the stamina question here is genuine, though the comment suggests she isn't out of this. Your Colour, rated 78, ran on hard into the placings at Randwick and won a maiden at Newcastle—settling at the back then producing a grinding charge, she could offer value in exotics.
Quick Finish and Fringilla share the Leader speed map and are expected to dominate early, with Quick Finish bringing early speed to advantage on this circuit. However, the Douglas-trained Leopard Shark looms as a genuine chance under Rachel King; the jockey-trainer combination is outperforming market by 97 per cent, and King's recent form sits 18 per cent above career average. In the finishers' division, Your Colour and Refuse To Curtsy both posted the fastest overall finishing sectionals last start, suggesting they could run through the line if the pace favours. Fringilla looks the logical play if early speed sticks, while Miss Waititi's form and fitness make her appealing for punters seeking something with genuine recent winning credentials at a better price.

Backing up quickly for this race. Appeared lacklustre when 7th last time at Rosehill. Rates as one of the key chances.

Far from disgraced (beaten 2½l) over 1m1f at Rosehill (Group 3) last Saturday; has won in classy company before and warrants respect.

On a short turnaround. Struggled when 7th last start at Rosehill. Expect a forward showing.

RSIS
Started at 15/2 and moved through the field into 4th last start at Flemington on a heavy track and up against weaker rivals. Definitely worth considering.
