2019 ROMA CUP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Great Shot while fresh will go fast and lead comfortably. Railway Stakes winner GALAXY STAR (8) is the one to beat first up from a 21-week spell. Opened last prep with a desperately close 2nd in the G3 Northerly over 1400m. Has won 3/3 at six furlongs and an impressive 11/15 overall. Hard to knock those figures.

ROCK MAGIC (1) returned after almost a year in the paddock to take out the G3 Northam Stakes over 1100m last start. A nine-time black-type winner who defies his age and can win again with the race fitness edge over the top pick.

ELECTRIC LIGHT (10) charged home from back in the pack to just miss picking up Rock Magic at Northam. Has won all six races contested at today's trip so she is certain to prove tough to hold out. MIZLECKI (9) disappointed last start but freshened up back to this journey is not out of the equation.

D'Orsogna Family-Roma Cup (G3)

Age: 2yo and up Type: OPEN

The Daniel and Ben Pearce-trained gelding Vital Silver scored a good first-up win in a closely fought finish. He began well and settled outside the leader (Great Shot), challenged at the home turn, got to a narrow lead inside the final 100m and then fought best to win in by a short neck. The favourite Galaxy Star settled back in second last place on the rails in the ten-horse field, eased deeper and into clear running at the 200m and then zoomed home for a late-closing second in a smart and unlucky first-up performance. Great Shot showed is usual pace to lead and led the field until the final stages and then held on well for a close-up third.
