Queen Elizabeth Stakes Form Guide & Tips
(1) Dubai Honour (Best Each Way – $6.50)
Dropping in distance is our only worry with Dubai Honour, but he’s the class act from Europe for William Haggas.
He is a five-time winner over the distance, so he can win over 2000m, and he’s good enough to threaten Via Sistina.
(2) Rousham Park ($16.00)
A Japanese runner who hasn’t been overlooked in betting markets. A big second placing two back, so that could be good enough to run in the money.
(3) Light Infantry Man ($17.00)
He returned to Group 1-winning form in the Australian Cup, but we think he could struggle to win the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
It’s a different race, and the $17 odds aren’t enticing.
(4) Ceolwulf (Best Roughie – $17.00)
His tough win in the Neville Sellwood was better than it looked. The pace of the race will suit better here, and he could show his elite turn-of-foot.
Getting $17 for a runner with $5.7 million in the bank is overly generous.
(5) Tom Kitten ($26.00)
He needed to show us something better than what he offered last start, so on this occasion, we’re dropping Tom Kitten out of the stable.
(6) Vauban ($27.00)
We can’t quite understand why he’s not running in the Sydney Cup. He won his only start over 2000m, but he has since progressed as a stayer.
He could struggle to keep up with the pace on Saturday.
(7) Buckaroo ($17.00)
He was disappointing when ninth in the Melbourne Cup, and he was always going to need a run back from a spell.
His second-up form is appealing, and he’s good enough to figure in the finish.
(8) Lindermann ($46.00)
Yet to win from four starts this campaign, and he has had better chances to win than this race.
(9) Fawkner Park ($27.00)
He has been finishing off nicely without winning, but he would need to improve to beat this field.
He’s 0-4 at Randwick, so that’s not helping his cause.
(10) Middle Earth ($41.00)
We liked his first-up win in Australia but that came against an easier field. Didn’t come on in the Australian Cup, so we can’t have him.
(11) Geoglyph ($101.00)
He was awful last week, and although rising in distance suits, he needs to improve to get back to winning form.
(12) Via Sistina (Best Bet – $1.80)
She owns 12 wins from 23 starts, including a record win in the Cox Plate. She dug deep to score her last two, and she’s the best horse in the race.
James McDonald rides from the inside draw, and he’ll look to get her to the outside at some point and drive home over the top.
$1.80 is short, but she’s the testing material.
(13) Fangirl ($23.00)
We priced Fangirl at around $12. She was a good thing beaten last time out, and only the rise to 2000m is against her.
If she gets a soft run, she could emerge out of the pace with a big late burst, so take the generous odds. Punters should keep in mind that she’s nominated for the Queen of the Turf, so if she runs there, omit her from your selections.
(14) Deny Knowledge ($27.00)
There is some moisture in the surface, which dents her chances. We haven’t found room for her this time around.
(15) Full Count Felicia ($101.00)
If you’re feeling dangerous, she could be worth a place bet at $13.50. She was solid when fourth fresh up, and her best form is good enough.
She’s at $101, but stranger things have happened.
