2018 HILL STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Classic Uniform maps to get a soft lead. EGG TART looks timed to the minute here after a solid start to her campaign. Wasn't beaten far first up in the Tramway Stakes. Then proceeded to close late for a third behind her champion stablemate Winx in the George Main Stakes.

Will be fitter again, has a solid third up record and looked good over this trip during her winter prep. Predicted rain would be of no concern either.

IT'S SOMEWHAT could be ready to show something more third run from a spell. Has an excellent record at this stage of his prep.

ACE HIGH was solid in the George Main Stakes and was particularly strong the run prior in the Chelmsford Stakes where he finished second. LUVALUVA and ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN double figure hopes each heading into this third run from a spell.

Appreciating the step up in distance, Ace High reclaimed the form that saw him take out back-to-back Group 1s this time last year with a very good win here, his fifth overall. He led out of the gates but rider Tye Angland was not interested in leading and allowed the entire to settle midfield (rails) past the 1600m. Angland angled him off the fence at the 800m to improve to fourth at the 500m, pulled wider into the straight to balance then went after the leader. He took over at the 200m and kept adding to his advantage to the line, never in danger and out by two lengths for a clear win. It's Somewhat was well back turning in, took a while to balance then ran on between runners for a solid second. The favourite Egg Tart made her run three wide from the 500m, challenged to be second then tried hard but couldn't find any extra to take the minor placing. One Foot In Heaven ran on wide out without looking like threatening the first three.
