Mares get Invitation to riches
SATURDAY, 5.35PM
Twelve mares and fillies have been “invited” to contest the inaugural running of the $2m The Invitation at Randwick. New Zealand star Entriviere is the favourite and has been kept fresh after running third behind Vangelic in the Golden Pendant when she settled too far back. Vangelic since had a horror run in the Silver Eagle. Icebath also wasn’t far behind Vangelic in the Golden Pendant and turned in a big run in the Epsom Handicap. Other top-class mares include Media Award, Sweet Deal, Madam Legend and Nudge, while Startantes is the only filly.
