2019 PJ O’SHEA STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

No clear leader so not expecting much of a tempo. SIXTIES GROOVE (6) was the eye catcher in the G1 Doomben Cup when running on hard for a 1L third to race rival Kenedna. Had also placed first up and will relish getting out to this trip with two wins and a placing from three attempts. Previous third up winner so can peak. Gets his chance to turn the tables.

KENEDNA (9) scored her second Group 1 from her past three starts with a fast-finishing win in the Doomben Cup. Beat her main rivals in the process and took her record at this course to two from three. If she can run the longer trip out strongly she will be hard to beat again.

LIFE LESS ORDINARY (2) was another to charge home when second in the Doomben Cup following a Hollindale Stakes win. That form must be respected. SHILLELAGH (8) wasn't far away in the Doomben Cup and has a touch of class. Contender. TALLY (5) could improve up in trip third up.

Form Preview

Winner of two Group 1s in her previous three starts, Kenedna was all class and ran away for an easy length and three quarters win here, recording the tenth victory of her career and topping $2.1 million in earnings in the process. With a lap to run she settled a handy sixth, one off the fence, drifting a shade to be fifth last at the 1200m. Nearing the 600m she inched closer and four wide approaching the last corner got up behind the leaders, levelled up inside the 200m then surged clear soon after and was never in any danger to the line. Sixties Groove sat fourth last at the 800m, ran up widest turning in and kept up a strong run to the line without looking to catch the winner. Re Edit led them in and was not collared until the 150m then fought well for third from Life Less Ordinary, who from back in the field stayed on quite well for fourth.
