2019 GRAND PRIX STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Not a lot of pace on paper. Vow And Declare could be the one to find the front. LORD ARTHUR (8) is a talented Kiwi who showed his staying credentials when winning the G2 Championship Stakes at Ellerslie last start. Hasn't raced for a month but is drawn to advantage and gets McDonald aboard. If he runs up to his last-start rating he should have the edge on these.
A MAN TO MATCH (2) kept finding the line well when runner up in the Rough Habit Plate last start. Placed at his only previous attempt at this distance and should be hitting his peak fourth up. GRINZINGER STAR (1) was chopped out last start and pulled up lame so ignore that. Won his previous two at Caulfield and has upside.
BOBBY DEE (9) is another Kiwi who placed behind Lord Arthur in the Championship Stakes and has won at this distance since. Respect. VOW AND DECLARE (4) is on the up and can improve out to this trip third up.
