The bigger track is right up her alley as she nears full fitness. ZARDOZI won the Edward Manifold here last start and is progressing well for an Oaks tilt. HARLOW MIST next. TECHFORM’S TOP 5 1 Zardozi 100 4 Harlow Mist 99 3 Konasana 95 5 Amazonian Lass 94 2 Coco Sun 91 WAKEFUL (Trenton (NZ) – Insomnia) Wakeful has claims to be the greatest, certainly the most versatile, race mare ever to have competed in Australia. She won 25 feature races from the Oakleigh Plate (5½ furlongs), Newmarket Handicap, 6 furlongs, AJC Doncaster Handicap (1 mile) to the Sydney Cup (2 miles) and the Australian Champion Stakes (3 miles). Three times she won the VRC Melbourne (Mackinnon Stakes). Her bravest race was her close second place under 10 stone (63.5kg) to Lord Cardigan in the 1903 Melbourne Cup. At stud she produced an Oakleigh Plate winner, Blairgour, and the 1918 Melbourne Cup winner, Night Watch.
