2019 SKY HIGH STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Wide open affair with very little separating the main hopes on weight adjusted ratings. Samadoubt is your obvious leader, but little speed away from that.

PATRICK ERIN (1) has taken on Winx at both starts to begin this preparation and looks to be trending the right way stepping up to 2000m. Will relish any rain about and rates highly on best form. Brown sticks and he shapes as one of the hardest to beat.

RED CARDINAL (3) won well fresh on debut for the Kris Lees stable and while he had the race run to suit, hard to knock the way he finished it off. Rates well off the back of that effort and looms as a major threat. GOATHLAND (11) also won well fresh and appears the next in line.

Irish-bred Red Cardinal followed good win when resuming in the Parramatta Cup (Listed, 1900m) at this track on February 23 with a smart win here. He travelled nicely for Kerrin McEvoy back in sixth place, delayed his move until into the home straight and then came with a strong late finish to score a really good win in a solid staying effort. Rodrico had a nice trip in third place, stuck to the rails and took the lead on turning for home and then fought well under his limit weight (55kg) for second. Goathland raced outside the leader (Samadoubt), went deep rounding the home turn and kept battling on well for third. Brimham Rocks was fifth on the rails and battled on for (3.3 lengths) fourth while Samadoubt again led, went wide nearing the home turn (looking for better going) and then battled in the straight for (4.6 lengths) fifth.
