This year’s record numbers bettered the 2009 total of 271 three year old fillies.

Pasadena Girl took out the Group 1 $400,000 Moet & Chandon Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on April 18 during the 2015 Sydney Autumn Carnival and is one six fillies Melbourne trainer Peter Moody has nominated for the glamour three year old fillies contest.

Moody’s other entries are Altamira, Beachley, Bring Me The Voice, Devious Maid and Just One Moment.

Lake Geneva is one of twelve fillies nominated from the Team Hawkes stable and the Fastnet Rock filly has had plenty of experience at Group 1 level with placings in both the $1m Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield and in the 1 $3.5m Tooheys New Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill during the Autumn Carnival.

Lake Geneva made up plenty ground from the back to finished third to the Peter and Paul Snowden trained Pride Of Dubai in the Blue Diamond Stakes and filled the same placing behind the Gai Waterhouse trained Vancouver in the Golden Slipper.

The Snowdens have ten fillies nominated for the Thousand Guineas hoping to win another Group 1 at Caulfield.

Waterhouse has a strong representation with Golden Slipper runner up English, and the well performed Speak Fondly, Flamboyant Lass and Kimberley Star among her twelve nominations.

2014 Thousand Guineas winning trainer Chris Waller will be hoping that one of his seven fillies nominated can repeat the winning effort of Amicus who was able to peak on the right day to claim the Group 1 prize.

Baubo, Francais, Hembrook, Laucala, Miss Antaeus, Sebring Sally and Zibello are yet to reach any great heights but they are all very well bred fillies and with the Waller magic, one or some of them are certain to rise to the occasion in two month’s time.

Warwick Farm trainer John O’Shea has entered seventeen well-bred Godolphin fillies with one time Golden Slipper favourite Ottoman among them.

Ottoman was beaten just over three lengths when ninth to Vancouver in the Golden Sliipper but came out next start to win the Group 3 $500,000 Girvan Waugh Percy Sykes Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on April 11, the second day of ‘The Championships’ during the Sydney Autumn Carnival.

Melbourne’s premier trainer Darren Weir has entered nine fillies while the training partnership of David Hayes and Tom Dabernig has a massive twenty four fillies listed in the nominations.
