2018 ANGST STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Mandylion and Shumookh expected to work forward. I AM SERIOUS has placed in each of her three runs this prep. Drops back from ten furlongs to the mile here. Should be peaking fourth up and record on rain affected ground is excellent. Appears pitchforked into this race under Set Weights plus Penalties.

SHUMOOKH is a tough mare. Won the Golden Pendant last start despite being headed a furlong from home. A mare in form however is untried over both the mile and heavy ground.

DIXIE BLOSSOMS warrants respect as one of the class mares in the race. Rain affected ground could turn this into a testing mile. With that in mind, THE PINNACLE and ALL TOO SOON can both play a role with their ability to perform well beyond 1600m on rain affected ground.

Angst Stakes (G3)

Age: 4yo and up Sex: M Type: OPEN

Highly consistent mare I Am Serious scored her eighth win (with six placings) in 15 starts in winning here, her first stakes success. She was settled in an ideal spot by James McDonald racing in third place on the rails, got into clear running at the 200m and finished far too well to score a smart win. Noted wet-tracker Mandylion led early on, and then eased to track new leader (Shumookh). She then kept battling on gamely in the straight, getting up to take second in a photo. Dixie Blossoms raced in seventh place, between runners, eased deeper and into clear running at the 300m and kept running on gamely under her top weight (58kg) to finish a good third. Shumookh worked in the early stages before crossing to the lead. She then travelled well, grabbed a break at the 300m before tiring after those efforts in the closing stages for (1.5 lengths) fourth.
