COOLMORE STUD STAKES
Results
The G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. Keen on CYLINDER (2) who ran very well in The Everest last start, more than holding his own against some of the best sprinters in the world. He's been the benchmark colt all the way through and if he holds his form he should be winning. KING'S GAMBIT (5) is the x-factor. He's clearly got talent and was impressive last start but whether the straight and big field bring him undone remains to be seen. SHINZO (1) hasn't been beaten all that far in the Golden Rose and The Everest but he's capable of improving and being a Slipper winner, his best would go close. STRETAN ANGEL (18) has done nothing wrong and is proven down the straight. I AM UNSTOPPABLE (10) should be thereabouts again.

Golden Slipper winner. Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming from last on the turn 9th of 12 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 23 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Militarize with 56.5kg at $6. Last start 9th of 12 at Randwick Everest on October 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Think About It carrying 53kg at $21. Slipper winner who has been just even in two runs back but clearly has the talent.
Multiple Group 2 winner. Last start with blinkers first time; 5th of 12 at Randwick Everest on October 14 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Think About It with 53kg at $11. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 23 over 1400m, head behind Militarize carrying 56.5kg at $4. Rates highly, looks the one to beat.
Multiple Group 1 placegetter. Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Gothic Stakes on October 21 over 1200m, neck behind Arkansaw Kid with 57kg at $4.50. The run before that 3rd of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 7 over 1100m, slow going 2 len behind Stretan Angel with 57kg at $12. Will be saved up for one last crack.
Group 2 winner. At the latest run raced on the pace when 2nd of 15 at Caulfield in the G1 Caul Guineas on October 14 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Griff carrying 57kg at $14. The race before that 5th of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Gneas Prel on September 23 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Steparty carrying 58kg at $3.50. Good colt but others may be sharper.
Group 2 winner. Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at this track in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 16 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Archo Nacho with 57.5kg at $2.90. Last start won by 1.75 len at Rosehill G2 Rom Consul October 7 over 1200m defeating Mexico with 56.5kg at $5. Much better last time, just needs to handle the straight.
Group 1 placegetter. Racing well. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 15 at Caulfield in the G1 Caul Guineas on October 14 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Griff carrying 57kg at $3.50. Before that won by a nose at Caulfield G3 Gneas Prel September 23 over 1400m defeating Southport Tycoon carrying 57kg at $2.50. Tricky set up but should be sharp enough.
Group 1 placegetter. Third-up today. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 11 at this track in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 16 over 1100m, 10 len behind Archo Nacho with 57.5kg at $10. Second-up ran on from midfield and won by a head at Caulfield LR Gothic Stakes October 21 over 1200m defeating Facile carrying 57.5kg at $7.50. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.
Group 2 placegetter. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Rosehill Tapp-Craig on October 7 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Makarena with 55kg at $7. Before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 23 over 1400m, 3 len behind Militarize carrying 56.5kg at $151. They look a bit sharp for him.
Last start 7th of 15 at Caulfield in the G1 Caul Guineas on October 14 over 1600m, 5 len behind Griff carrying 57kg at $14. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Gneas Prel on September 23 over 1400m, long-neck behind Steparty carrying 56kg at $13. Hard to make a case on recent form.
Group 2 placegetter. Racing well. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 7 over 1100m, on a slow track; neck behind Stretan Angel with 58kg at $3.30. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 16 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Archo Nacho with 57.5kg at $7. Will need to improve to win but can get into the finish.
Group 2 placegetter. Third-up today. First-up favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.2 len at Rosehill LR Heritage September 23 over 1100m defeating Celestial Legend with 56kg at $3. Second run from a spell tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Rosehill in the G2 Rom Consul on October 7 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind King's Gambit carrying 56.5kg at $2.40. Talented colt, a good run wouldn't shock.
Group 2 placegetter. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at Rosehill in the G2 Rom Consul on October 7 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind King's Gambit with 56.5kg at $41. The run before that 4th of 11 at this track in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 16 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Archo Nacho carrying 56kg at $26. Prefer to watch at this stage.
Group 3 placegetter. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 23 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Militarize with 56.5kg at $41. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Rosehill in the G2 Run To Rose on September 9 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Cylinder carrying 55kg at $9. Not completely hopeless but unlikely.
Group 2 placegetter. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently 6th of 12 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 23 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Militarize carrying 56.5kg at $19. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at Rosehill in the G2 Run To Rose on September 9 over 1200m, head behind Cylinder carrying 55kg at $14. Handy enough colt but probably lacks the class.
Third-up today. Resuming won by 4 len at Bendigo Bm64 September 27 over 1000m defeating Valois carrying 57kg at $1.20. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm70 October 27 over 1000m defeating Revalene with 59.5kg at $4.50. This is a huge rise in class.
Group 2 placegetter. Resumes off a 42 day let-up. Last start second last of 12 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 23 over 1400m, 3 len behind Militarize carrying 56.5kg at $26. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Rosehill in the G2 Run To Rose on September 9 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Cylinder carrying 55kg at $11. Thereabouts last time but others are preferred.
Multiple Group 2 winner. Resumes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 6th of 12 at Randwick in the G1 Flight on September 30 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Tropical Squall carrying 56kg at $2.80. The run before that favourite; won by 1.4 len at Randwick G2 Tea Rose September 16 over 1400m defeating Kimochi with 56kg at $3. Good filly not unsuited back in trip. Place.
Group 2 winner. Third-up today. Resuming 2nd of 19 at this track in the LR Cap D'antibes on September 16 over 1100m, head behind Shesallshenanigans carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Last start won by a neck at this track G2 Danehill October 7 over 1100m in soft going defeating I Am Unstoppable with 56kg at $7. Talented filly proven here, she should be thereabouts.
Group 3 winner. Last start from last on the turn 5th of 9 at Caulfield in the LR Gothic Stakes on October 21 over 1200m, 3 len behind Arkansaw Kid carrying 56.5kg at $21. The race before that 5th of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 7 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Stretan Angel carrying 56.5kg at $151. Not good enough.
