Hoping To Clap A Happy Dance In The Makabe Diva
Nine Group One winners line up for the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes over 1600m at Flemington headlined by Doncaster Mile and Epsom Handicap winner Happy Clapper.
He faces Darren Weir’s multiple Group 1 winners Black Heart Bart and Humidor.
Godolphin’s star Kementari will be going into his first 1600m race putting James Cummings’ plans into action to see the entire go from being a sprinter to a stayer.
Weir will also saddle up Japanese import Tosen Basil and his promising European import Kings Will Dream.
Sydney’s leading trainer Chris Waller will be represented with the in-form Comin’ Through, while last season’s three year old Group One winner Grunt will put plenty of depth into the race.
