The Thousand Guineas at Caulfield is one of the premier races for three year-old fillies during the Spring Carnival. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 3:10pm (AEDT).
With $500,000 on the line, the Thousand Guineas is a lucrative event for the girls, with quality such as Miss Finland and Allinghi on the honour roll.
Run over the traditional mile at set weights, the race produces a quality winner on most occasions and should do so again this year.
Smart Melody appears a firm favourite for the race after a perfect start to her career with five straight wins.
Fiesta does look a danger after consistent form in Sydney, as does El Dorado Dreaming who should be fitter after her run in the Prelude.
Thrillster cannot be discounted with a 100 per cent place strike rate in her career and Amphitrite has the ability to contend, yet will need a little luck from her barrier in order to work into the race.
The speed map suggests Smart Melody will not be under manic pressure and that the race could fall her way if she is indeed permitted to wind up slowly after settling in a nice position.
There will be some money for Krone and Anjana but the top four look destined to fight this one out.

Three year old Group One races can sometimes throw a spanner into the works in terms of punting and I have a feeling this race might be a little less predictable than some think.
Despite Smart Melody sitting pretty in gate two, Fiesta lands right outside her and along with Thrillster in eight, could cause an upset over the short priced favourite.
