2021 BLACK OPAL STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Loads of early pressure with Bourbon Flyer and Pretty Woman and Remarque among the most prominent. BACCHANALIA (4) will line up at big odds off the Maiden win at Canterbury on the heavy. It's the run before that interests most when he raced wide beaten 2.2L in the Blue Diamond Preview. He will needs things to go his way from the wide gate but gets Rachel King and always respect Godolphin in the big features.
PRETTY WOMAN (11) is one of the best fillies going around and has won easily here both race starts. Her figures are strong and she looks well-up to managing the extra 200m. Poised for a home town victory. SOLAR WINDS (15) is on debut for Team Hawkes and brings a sharp trial. Looks to have a stack of ability and will get every chance from the handy gate.
ROCKET TIGER (1) was a tad unlucky just pipped in the Silver Slipper Stakes. Kept coming and drops in grade. Gets the run of the race and can be in the finish. REMARQUE (2) won as he liked on debut and has trialled sharply since. Has been well bet in early markets and drawn low is sure to race boldly.
