2019 SPRING STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Looks even tempo but not too fast from the chute. The Spring Stakes is the highlight and is a really good edition. SCALES OF JUSTICE (1) could not have been more impressive winning the Bletchingly Stakes. He sat off them and roared home. Only needs to bring that form to go mighty close.

DESPATCH (2) was the winner of The Goodwood over this course and distance. He loves it here and flies fresh. BEHEMOTH (5) was the horse he beat home in that G1. If he runs here he has good form lines.

DALASAN (10) didn't miss by much in the VRC Sires. Takes on older horses but has done little wrong. HARD EMPIRE (4) can be placed on his best form. He finishes races off well.

1200m TURF SOFT

Form Preview

The only three-year-old in the field and fresh up from a close second in the Sires' Produce Stakes at Flemington in March, Dalasan gave his older opponents few excuses with a decisive win here, his third in four starts and maiden stakes success. He began quickly then eased a shade to sit fourth. Rounding into the home straight he inched closer and at the top of the straight, four deep, was ready to pounce. Taking some time to wind up he was third at the 200m, levelled up at the 100m then broke clear, out by an easy length at the post. Scales Of Justice sat second, three wide at the 600m, took over turning in, co-led at the 300m then led narrowly at the 200m but could not answer the winner to the post. Waging War snuck through along the fence at the 300m and kept going well for third from Despatch who battled on after co-leading at the 300m.
