The 2026 Flight Stakes takes centre stage at Randwick on Saturday, October 3, with the Group 1 mile bringing the Princess Series to a close for the three-year-old fillies.
Global Goal and Striking Alibi share favouritism at $3 with Ladbrokes after both producing strong efforts in the Tea Rose Stakes over 1400m.
Global Goal finished third behind Bangkok Hottie but was one of the stronger closers in the race, with her late work suggesting the step to 1600m could suit.
Striking Alibi was runner-up in the same race after striking trouble at a key stage, and her performance was strong enough to keep her right at the top of the Flight Stakes market.
Bangkok Hottie is next at $4.50 after completing the Furious Stakes-Tea Rose Stakes double, continuing a spring campaign in which she has improved through each run.
The David Payne-trained filly controlled the Tea Rose well enough to score again and now gets her first look at 1600m, with the stable confident the rise in distance can suit.
Piedmont is quoted at $15 after winning first-up over 1250m at Canterbury, and the Ciaron Maher-trained filly remains one of the more lightly raced runners in the market as she stretches towards the mile.
Proxima Dea also sits at $15 after putting together three straight wins earlier in the campaign, including an 1800m victory at Rosehill, giving her a different staying-based profile to most of the leading fillies.
Queen’s Gamble shares that $15 line after winning twice before finishing sixth in the Tea Rose, having already shown she can be effective around 1400m and now getting the chance to progress to the Flight Stakes mile.
With the first three in the Tea Rose dominating the top of betting and several less-exposed fillies sitting just behind them, the Flight Stakes market is beginning to tighten ahead of Randwick.

Flight Stakes History
The Flight Stakes is the premier three-year-old fillies race of the Sydney Spring Carnival, with the Group 1 feature contested over 1600m at Royal Randwick.
First run in 1947, the race was elevated to Group 1 status in 1985 and has developed into one of the defining races for three-year-old fillies during the early spring.
Its honour roll features some of the outstanding fillies and mares of the modern era, including Sunline, Samantha Miss, More Joyous and Guelph, underlining the quality traditionally required to win the Randwick mile.
The Flight Stakes also serves as the culmination of Sydney's Princess Series, making it a key target for the leading fillies progressing through the spring.
The most recent winners are Tropical Squall in 2023, Lady Shenandoah in 2024 and Apocalyptic, who claimed the 2025 edition.
