Dane Ripper Stakes – 2022

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Big race to close the day and the market is lead by Najmaty who has been ultra impressive this prep and looks beautifully placed to notch up another win. Letzbeglam will be making sure it is right on its tail and posing a challenge. Written Beauty is a dual acceptor but can give a nice sight in this field while Salateen is ready to peak and classy enough to take this race out. Tempo should be solid.

1. Vangelic (17)

Expecting on the speed tactics employed and Tim Clark takes the steer. Vangelic has been mixing its form but can certainly come into contentions if the track is favouring those on speed. Some hope.

2. Vulpine (8)

Seems to bob up occasionally at big odds and win. Maps to sit somewhere midfield and certainly has the class to give this race a shake.

3. Written Beauty (15)

Dual acceptor and a big chance if the stable elect to run here. Wide draw but ran extremely well from a similar position last start. Can give this a shake and is over the odds.

4. Bring The Ransom (4)

Love dry tracks and no problems with the form. Nash takes the steer from barrier 4 and this race is within reach.

5. Enchanted Heart (3)

Solid return and super honest competitor. Maps for the right run in transit, slight query is may be looking for a wetter track but still in the mix.

6. Salateen (12)

Superb sight behind Najmaty last start. Draws worse than the favourite and has to find a length but now has another run under the belt and is a major player in this.

7. Fashchanel (16)

Poor last run but can do better. Suited by the ground and can go close with a pinch of luck in running. Keep safe and is a contender for top 4.

8. April Rain (13)

Has been terribly hard to catch but at $23 also seems left out by the market. Going better than it looks, weary and keep a close watch on the market.

9. Eloquently (9)

Has been poor of late, prefer others in this.

10. Letzbeglam (2)

Didn’t have much luck in running last start and barrier 2 should ensure a cozy trip. Was close in both first and second up efforts this prep and can take this out.

11. Tycoon Evie (5)

4 wins from 8 goes on the track and has a 61% career place rate. Likely to be in the finish and very good odds on a 1×3 basis.

12. Palaisipan (1)

Needs to find more to challenge these but suited by the drop in trip and does no work from the draw. Keep an eye on the market.

13. Mariamia (14)

Brilliant win last start. This is harder and barrier 14 won’t be easy. Keep an eye on the market, top 4 chance with even luck from the draw.

14. Enterprise Keren (7)

Can’t have.

15. Najmaty (6)

Racing superbly and very hard to knock. Should be securing the dream run in transit from barrier 6 and this race is very winnable. Great chance in this field and the odds are fair.

16. Flandersrain (10)

Best efforts can give this a shake and does seem large odds. Keep an eye on the market.

17. Soubrette (11)

Can’t have.
