2019 MISSILE STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Easily the main highlight of the afternoon with this year's Group 2 Missile Stakes. Vegadaze is expected to lead from out-wide, Le Romain also comes across with Invincible Gem kicking up from the inside.

ALIZEE (4) has only tasted defeat once fresh (3/4) and it's hard to suggest she won't return a winner here. Very well treated under the WFA conditions and has trialled as well as ever. Bowman sticks and with even luck she simply should be too good for them.

LE ROMAIN (1) certainly won't go down without a fight and while mixing his form last time in, he is certainly more than capable. VEGADAZE (2) is the big query runner, no doubt he is flying, but this is a big step up for him. INVINCIBLE GEM (5) won this race in 2017, next best.

Smithfield Rsl Missile Stakes (G2)

Age: 3yo and up Type: OPEN

Three-time Group 1-winning mare Alizee staged a good firstup effort in winning here. She was ridden quietly by Hugh Bowman and settled in last place in the five-horse field, going a bit keenly behind a very steady early tempo before improving (deep) from the 600m. She made a quick move to take the lead on turning for home and then held on over the closing stages to score by a neck, with something in hand. Invincible Gem raced in fourth place, went to second at the 200m and ran on really well over the latter stages for a very good first-up second. Le Romain was third early on, was shuffled back in the small field to be last (out deep) at the home turn. He then steadily made ground in the sprint home to take third in a sound first-up run. The $101 outsider Dissolute was ridden hard to the early stages to find the lead. He then steadied the pace, was overtaken at the home turn and then held on quite well for (4.9 lengths) fourth with Vegadaze (6.5 lengths) last after racing a bit keenly outside of the leader to the home turn at his first run back.
