Cavalry Girl is poised to replicate history as she aims to extend her winning streak in the prestigious Group 1 Moir Stakes.

Since the Moir Stakes shifted to an early September date in 2024, both subsequent victors, Baraqiel and Mornington Glory, had previously triumphed in the Carlyon Stakes (1000m) leading up to the event.

Having secured the Carlyon Stakes at Sandown just a fortnight ago, Cavalry Girl is aiming to maintain this perfect record when she competes in the Moir Stakes (1000m) at Sandown this Saturday.

This year’s Moir Stakes is being staged at Sandown because Moonee Valley is currently undergoing a redevelopment, a factor trainer Tom Dabernig is fully cognizant of.

Crucially, Cavalry Girl met a significant requirement when she won the Carlyon Stakes, demonstrating her ability to handle the demanding uphill finish at Sandown.

Dabernig commented that it would be foolish not to pursue a Group 1 victory with Cavalry Girl, particularly given her current impressive form.

Cavalry Girl boasts four wins from her last five outings, including her most recent three consecutive victories. However, Dabernig acknowledges the elevated level of competition the mare will face on Saturday.

“That Carlyon form has traditionally been good into the Moir as well as that benchmark 100 that she won before that as well,” Dabernig said.

“We’ll follow the pattern and see what she can run well again.

“I realise it’s going to be a different ballgame again, but she’s ticked that box having won at Sandown now and she’s a 1000-metre specialist.

“We might as well give it a go whilst she’s in form, as if you tip them out, you don’t know whether they will come back.

“You could also wait for races over Caulfield Cup week and Melbourne Cup week, and you miss your window.”

After outclassing her rivals in her wins at Morphettville and Caulfield Heath before her Carlyon Stakes triumph, Dabernig expressed satisfaction with the mare’s ability to settle off the pace.

“It was good to see her come back and prove that she doesn’t have to lead all-the-time,” Dabernig stated.

“She is good down the straight (at Flemington) so we might give her a freshen after this for Cup week, but we’ll get over Saturday first and worry about that later.”
