COOLANGATTA (3:40) can waltz to victory in the King's Stand Stakes on Day One of Royal Ascot. Team Maher and Eustace’s raider is tailor-made to be Australia’s latest winner of this Group 1. The filly first announced herself by edging Russian Conquest in the Magic Million at Gold Coast . She ran well again despite hating the heavy ground when third in the Golden Slipper at Rosehill. The speedster put in another good shift when filling the same spot in a Moonee Valley Group 2. She broke her duck at Group 1-level when chinning Bella Nipotina in the Moir at the same track. The four-year-old wasn’t disgraced again when fifth in another top-level contest at Flemington. The bay then looked world-class when cosily denying I Wish I Win in the Lightning on her return. The star has been excelling on the gallops since arriving so she can conquer the global sprint elite.
