2019 RAMORNIE HANDICAP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

A sizzling pace anticipated with Whypeeo from a wide gate charging over to look for the fence.

The Ramornie is an open race as always. TOP STRIKER (9) was back in winning form last start, making a mighty run from near the tail of the field to get up and score at Rosehill over 1100m in heavy going. Draws a better gate so should settle a couple of pairs closer this time and he is going to be very hard to hold out on the limit weight.

The class runner is CARE TO THINK (1) who resumes from a 29-week spell. Had just two runs when last in work and failed to fire. Before that had won 2/4 when fresh and a couple of strong recent trials suggest he is on target. HAUNTED (6) has been freshened up and loves this going.

Form Preview

In a packed finish where the first nine runners went to the post less than two lengths apart, the Toby Edmonds-trained gelding Havasay won, his ninth win in 41 starts and his second successive Ramornie Handicap victory. He was ridden quietly and settled back in 13th place in the 15-horse field. He improved nicely between runners at the home turn, angled into clear running halfway down the straight and then finished well to grab victory by the barest of margins. Star Boy raced in fifth place, improved rounding the home turn, challenged on passing the 200m, hit the front at the 50m only to be caught on the post for (nose) second. Freddie Fox Trot was smartly away from a wide barrier and was a handy third most of the way. He challenged at the 200m and battled well for a close-up third while the favourite, the Godolphin-raced Haunted, missed the start and was near last to the home turn. He improved closer to the inner rounding the final bend and made late ground in restricted room for (1.4 lengths) eighth, looking somewhat unlucky.
