2019 STRADBROKE HANDICAP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Multiple sources of speed so expecting good pace and plenty of pressure. DESPATCH (3) is a winner. Made it four from four this campaign with a fighting win in the Goodwood in Adelaide last start and isn't badly off at the weights for a Group 1 winner. Attempts 1400m for the first time but gets a cushy run from the inside stall. Has the ratings and is a chance at good each way odds.

PRETTY IN PINK (18) is a progressive filly who toughed out a Group 2 win over the older sprinters last week. Gets a low draw and no weight on her back. Peaking third up and could give a big sight again. TYZONE (13) charged home to win the Group 3 BRC Sprint over 1350m last outing. A high pressure sprint should suit. Watch for him late.

THE BOSTONIAN (1) has been the benchmark sprinter this carnival winning both Group 1s. Gives away weight under the handicap conditions but remains unbeaten in Queensland. Must respect. TREKKING (5) is racing well and gets a weight drop. Can be right in the finish.

Form Preview

Consistent Godolphin-raced four-year-old Trekking took his record to eight wins (five placings) from 20 starts in breaking through with an impressive Group 1 success here. He settled nicely under Kerrin McEvoy in tenth place, one off the rails, behind a quick tempo (first 800m 46.72). He fanned deep at the home turn, sprinted quickly, hit the front at the 200m and then drew clear to win well and in quick time (1:21.86). Tyzone raced in 12th place, tracking the eventual winner. He went wide from the 300m and then kept running on well for second. Endless Drama had a nice trip in eighth place, one off the rails, improved nicely on turning for home, challenged at the 200m and then battled on well to take the minor placing. Spright was again ridden patiently and raced near last in the 17-horse field before finishing on well over the latter stages for (3.4 lengths) fourth while Tom Melbourne was last to the home turn and then made good ground in the straight for (3.5 lengths) fifth.
