Tipping a horse to get a deserved win in the Tips and Race Preview for the 2019 CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday.

2019 CF ORR STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Fell Swoop can come over to the speed with Holbien and they are sure to run along. KEMENTARI resumes and was beaten a nose at this level at his last appearance this venue. Has trialled well for the return and off the low gate JMac will be looking to settle him into a trailing position. Has the class and is sure to be wound up and take beating.

LAND OF PLENTY is ex Weir and presents as a danger following the FU placing in the Australian Stakes. Now with Maher-Eustace he will be back in the field again but has more to give and will be steaming home.

WHISPERING BROOK is ex Weir and will push forward. Delivered the hat-trick LS beating Fell Swoop at Group 2 level. Keeps improving and can make the finish off that career peak.

SHILLELAGH resumes and won at this level two back at the mile. Should go well of the two trial warmers but the wide gate makes it an ask. BRAVE SMASH did nothing FU for Weir and is back after 15 days for the Kris Lees stable. Keeps Walker and would only need to get back to the level he showed in the Manikato Stakes to be a player.

Form Preview

Having his second start this preparation, after winning the Kilmore Cup (Listed, 1600m) in November, Manuel scored a surprise all-the-way win, his eighth win in 23 starts and his first at Group 1 level. He had little trouble in finding the lead and Luke Currie was able to set a reasonable mid-race tempo before Manuel got a break on turning for home. He then held off all challengers to win well, with a half-length advantage at the post. The favourite Kementari, who was resuming, raced in seventh place, one off the rails, moved up nearing the home turn, was in a challenging position at the 200m and kept fighting on to deadheat for second with Land Of Plenty who ran on well from eighth at the home turn in a good effort at his second run back. Brave Smash was a handy fifth, one off the rails, challenged strongly at the 200m before battling on well for a close-up fourth, finishing just in front of Best Of Days who was sixth rounding the home turn and then held on well for fifth, beaten less than a length in a sound first-up effort.
