COOLMORE STUD STAKES
Onto the first of three Group 1's, and what a cracking Coolmore Stud Stakes it is. TENTYRIS (3) has a real sense of timing about him. He drifted heavily here first up but still ran very well through the inferior ground before being heavily backed at Caulfield. The win there was outstanding, getting off heels and charging late in fast time. He can improve again and that will give the early favourite BEIWACHT (1) a real race. Beiwacht is off five weeks coming back from the G1 Golden Rose where he was ultra-impressive winning by four lengths. He did have the pattern onside there but the form out of it has been outstanding and he'll be very hard to run down. BEADMAN (10) was unlucky in the G2 Roman Consul last time which has been a good guide to this race. Loved his recent jumpout down the straight. LEGACY BOUND (9) can run well at odds. He's crying out for 1200m and had things against in the G2 Danehill Stakes. SKYHOOK (5) has been good in the top Sydney leadups and has claims.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently won by 4 len at Rosehill G1 Golden Rose September 27 over 1400m defeating Wodeton carrying 56.5kg at $9. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Rosehill in the G2 Run To Rose on September 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Tempted with 57.5kg at $7.50. Star colt who rates very highly.
Most recently led to the turn then faded 5th of 7 at Caulfield in the LR Gothic Stakes on October 18 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Tentyris with 58.5kg at $4.40. The run before that won by a nose at this track G2 Danehill October 4 over 1100m defeating My Gladiola with 57kg at $15. Others read better. Found out last time, hard to have off that.
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 3rd of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 4 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind McGaw carrying 58.5kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.5 len at Caulfield LR Gothic Stakes October 18 over 1200m defeating Raging Force carrying 58.5kg at $2.25. Huge win last time, improves again third up.
Most recently 5th of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 4 over 1100m, 3 len behind McGaw with 58.5kg at $7. Before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 13 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Legacy Bound with 58.5kg at $2.30. Has a few lengths to make up.
Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Rosehill in the G1 Golden Rose on September 27 over 1400m, 5 len behind Beiwacht with 56.5kg at $6. Before that 3rd of 12 at Rosehill in the G2 Run To Rose on September 13 over 1200m, slow going 1.5 len behind Tempted carrying 57kg at $5.50. Brings strong form, have to respect.
Most recently won by a neck at Rosehill G2 Rom Consul October 11 over 1200m defeating Beadman carrying 56.5kg at $18. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Rosehill in the LR Heritage on September 27 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Marhoona carrying 56kg at $16. Had favours last time, suspect there's a few better now.
Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Caulfield in the LR Gothic Stakes on October 18 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Tentyris with 58.5kg at $4.60. The start before that faded in the straight 7th of 12 at Rosehill in the G2 Run To Rose on September 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Tempted carrying 57kg at $4. Last 50m is a concern but he'll give a sight.
At the latest run 6th of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 4 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind McGaw with 58.5kg at $12. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Caulfield in the G3 Mcneil on August 30 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Tycoon Star with 58.5kg at $4. Not sure he's up to these.
Third-up today. Resuming raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track LR Poseidon Stakes September 13 over 1100m defeating Navy Pilot with 58.5kg at $6. Last start 4th of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 4 over 1100m, 2 len behind McGaw with 58.5kg at $7. Going well and up to 1200m suits much better.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 10 at Rosehill in the LR Heritage on September 27 over 1100m, 0.9 len behind Marhoona carrying 58.5kg at $3.10. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Rosehill in the G2 Rom Consul on October 11 over 1200m, neck behind Hidden Motive carrying 56.5kg at $3.60. Racing well. Unlucky last time, ready to peak now.
Yet to taste defeat in two starts. Had his first run for this campaign last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.4 len at Randwick LR Br Crowley October 25 over 1200m defeating Pallaton carrying 56kg at $6. Exciting colt who faces his acid test.
Form hard to fault. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track in the G2 Danehill on October 4 over 1100m, nose behind McGaw with 56.5kg at $4. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by a head at this track LR Cap D'antibes September 13 over 1100m defeating Akaysha with 58.5kg at $4.40. Very good filly but this is even harder.
