Get On Miss Finland This Wednesday...

MISS FINLAND was a certainty beat last start and she'll be out to make amends in the prestigious Group 1 Thousand Guineas at Caulfield on Wednesday.

The flying filly has won five of her nine career starts including the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes where she came from well back to win running away. She then stepped straight up to the Group 1 Champagne Stakes and finished runner-up behind Mentality.

After a spell she beat Haradasun in the McNeil before toughing out a neck win over stablemate Anamato in the Tranquil Star. At her last start in the Edward Manifold Stakes, Craig Williams took her to the front but said she worked hard within herself as she went out to a big lead throughout the race and although battled on well was run down late.

The filly has raced at Caulfield three times and her only defeat was when runner-up in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes as a juvenile after being slowly away on the wet track.

Champion trainer David Hayes wasn't fazed by her outside draw (9 out of 11) today, commenting "She’s perfect this morning and is the one they have to beat-take the short price on her.”
