Race Preview

The Kensington Stakes, now over 1400m. THE OPEN (4) looks ready to measure up here having won a pair of BM84 races over this trip at his past two, carrying big weights both times. He drops down to 54kg here and gets Jamie Kah aboard in what looks a winnable Listed race. His win at Pakenham was the fastest of three 1400m races on the card, and key rivals here come through some slower heats. RUNNING BY (2) couldn't quite reel in MODOWN (7) at Pakenham last time out but did start $2.40 there and the win prior at this track was very smart. She can repay the faith. No knock on MODOWN who likes 1400m and was a deserved winner last time and can win again. MIRAVAL ROSE (6) was a touch disappointing considering her price last time but likely needs 1400m or further to fire which she gets here. She's talented and can bounce back. ROLL ON HIGH (3) was good in the Supernova and is talented on her day.

My Pick

Second run back. First-up after three months eased back early on 10th of 13 at Pakenham Supernova on December 21 over 1400m, 5 len behind Here To Shock carrying 58.5kg at $26. Previously second-up eased back early on 10th of 16 at Caulfield in the G1 Rup Clarke on November 18 2023 over 1400m, 5 len behind Magic Time with 53.5kg at $19. Might need one more.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Caul Village on November 16 over 1100m, 1.2 len behind Kin with 54kg at $3.50. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Caulfield Heath Mm Classic on December 14 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Yes Lulu carrying 57kg at $2.50. Wasn?t too far off the mark last time. Just fair last time but looks suited to this trip now.
