Double Grand Slam, pictured narrowly failing last year, will be out to make it third time lucky in the Gr 1 Maine Chance Farms Majorca Stakes (Picture: Wayne Marks)

The Gr 1 Maine Chance Farms Majorca Stakes has attracted a vintage field of 14 top class fillies and mares.

Double Grand Slam only just failed last year, having been beaten into third in 2024 as a three-year-old, and will be out to make it third time lucky.

The Gr 1 WSB Fillies Guineas winner Quickstepgal gives the race the dimension it always needs i.e. it will sort out the three-year-old versus older fillies and mares debate.

Crack three-year-olds Reet Petite, Gimme What I Want and Keukenhof are also in the line up.

Asiye Phambili is a top class sprinter, but earlier in her career she once won three-times in a row over 1600m, so she is an intriguing entry.

Minogue has come into her own this season and will be a contender too if able to overcome a wide draw.

The dependable Rainbow Lorikeet deserves to win a Gr 1.

Last year’s WSB Cape Fillies Guineas winner Fatal Flaw ran well below par in the Majorca and gets a chance to make amends, although she needs to bounce back to form.

Mia Moo is a Gr 1-winning sprinter who has only tried a mile once before and failed, but she might do well over this easy mile.

Mon Petite Cherie was not disgraced against the boys in the Gr 2 Ridgemont Green Point Stakes and looks to have come into her own physically this season, so will be an intriguing runner.

The full field of 14 can be seen below:
