2019 TED VAN HEEMST STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Spiritual Warrior probably leads them if he backs up from Wednesday. If not then Gatting and maybe Ambitious take it up.

REGAL POWER (5) was an impressive winner of the Railway then big run in the Kingston Town from a wide gate. Small field and tempo might be his only enemy. The one to beat. GATTING (2) won a Group 1 in the Melbourne spring and he wasn't disgraced in the Kingston Town either. Logical danger if there is one.

MISSISSIPPI DELTA (6) also comes through the Group 1 last time and just held her ground. Capable of a place. STAR EXHIBIT (3) bobs up and a big watch on AMBITIOUS (1) first-up.

Ted Van Heemst Stakes (G2)

Age: 3yo and up Type: OPEN

Group 1 Railway Stakes winner two starts back, Regal Power powered clear over the last 150m to continue a purple patch of form, his sixth win and fifth stakes success. He settled fifth in the small field of six with a circuit to run and found a lovely one out and one back spot from the 1400m. Inside the 1000m he cruised and then responded when the tempo increased at the 600m, in behind the first two, ready to pounce. Jockey William Pike eased him wider turning in then unleashed at the 200m, bounded clear and won under a hold by two and a quarter lengths. Gatting sat outside the leader down the side and into the straight before leading briefly at the 250m. He had no answer to the winner yet bravely kept on to the line. Star Exhibit tracked the winner in fifth to the last corner, moved out at the 250m and stayed on quite well for third from Mississippi Delta who battled away for fourth.
