2019 PERCY SYKES STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Kiamichi goes forward with Anaheed. KIAMICHI (1) backs up after placing in the Sires' behind Microphone last start. Having her fourth start in five weeks which is of some concern however clearly has the pick of disclosed form having of course won the Golden Slipper two starts ago.

Stablemate FLIT (4) won the Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes last start down the Flemington straight. Has since been kept ticking over with a Rosehill trial.

CHEER LEADER (5) was a dominant five length winner around The Valley over 1200m. Favourably drawn and has improved with each run. ANAHEED (2) ran sixth in the Golden Slipper. Easier here back against her own sex.

Form Preview

Having her first start since running sixth in the Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) on March 23, Anaheed battled strongly under pressure to record her second Group 2 success in six starts. She began smartly from her outside barrier (10) and worked across to race outside the leader (Cheer Leader) at a solid tempo. She got to the front at the 200m and then fought back gamely to score by the narrowest of margins at the post. Godolphin-raced filly Flit remained at the tail of the ten-horse field, went widest of all on turning for home and came with a strong late bid for (nose) second. Villami settled in fifth place on the rails from her inside barrier (1), got a split to be in a challenging position at the 200m and kept battling on well for third, while the favourite Cheer Leader tired for (3.7 lengths) six after setting a strong tempo. Golden Slipper winner Kiamichi faded after being handy to finish the last of ten (5.9 lengths), appearing to have come to the end of a very successful preparation.
