Gr 1 Ranvet Stakes

Looks the winner. Is simply too tough, too sharp and too fast for these. Showed that last start when he dashed away and hung tough to score and off this draw sits behind the speed and then out kicks them. Looks a good thing. Excels on wet ground too.

This is such an improved racehorse. Resumed from spell last start in the 2000m City Stakes and finished 3rd to serpentine under 61kg. He ran good time that day in defeat and can only be fitter this time. Worth considering.

Classy Irish galloper who is 2nd up here. Beaten just 3 lengths when resuming and impressive 5th to the brilliant Fangirl in 1400m Gr 2. Fitter now, has Ryan Moore to steer and should be right in this finish. Is now trained at this track too which helps.

Good solid stayer who goes well this trip. WFA may test against a few of these and he is 2nd up but has won twice while 2nd up. Place show at best.

Smart and getting better now that he has settled into Aussie racing and environs. Was a game 4th in the Gr 1 Caulfield Cup last year then spelled. resumed with a terrific 2nd in the Listed City over 2000m last start behind Serpentine. This is harder but he is improving all the time and is fitter now. Likes it wet too.

Outstanding Gr 1 winning English mare now in Australia and is on debut here. But, Gr 1 wins at the Curragh cannot be overlooked, neither can multiple Gr 1 placings in England including Ascot on wet tracks. They have jumped out of the trees to back her to win this. So, all that means she must be in your numbers.

Another imported Gr 1 winning mare now in the ownership of Yu Long Investments as Via Sistina is. This one swims – loves it wet and her Gr 1 win in Paris was over this trip last year was on a soft track. Weakened last start out of contention late in the Prix de L’arc Triumph. Watch betting moves as he is very good.
