Dane Ripper Stakes – 2023

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Opal Ridge comes up favourite and will be hard to hold out from the wide draw. Sheeza Belter maps for a dream run and will be hard to stave off. Tycoon Evie can lead these up and should get every chance from the good barrier while Revolutionary Miss has large claims and is having an excellent prep.

1. September Run (11)

Capable of a huge run when on song. Goes in the mix and will be flashing late.

2. Electric Girl (14)

Will be hitting the line hard but the map does make things tricky. Goes in the mix with a pinch of luck.

3. Sheeza Belter (3)

More than good enough to give this a shake. Maps kindly from the draw and should get a sweet run in transit. Is up to these.

4. Promise Of Success (13)

Mixing form and prefer others at this stage.

5. Roots (2)

Maps nicely from the barrier. Should get a sweet run in transit and the gun jockey does the steering. This race is well within reach and the $18.00 is a large price.

6. Revolutionary Miss (9)

Maps a little tricky from the barrier but should give this race a shake. Has strong claims with a tow into this at the right time.

7. Mirra Vision (5)

Likely wants a bit of give in the ground but has enough class to go close in this. Respect any market moves.

8. Tycoon Evie (1)

Can lead these up from barrier 1. Should get every chance from there. Place hope.

9. Juan Diva (7)

Prefer others.

10. More Prophets (10)

Surprise winner last start. Harder here but good enough to give this a shake.

11. Snapped (17)

Tough draw. Leaning to to others.

12. She’s All Class (8)

Mixing form. Can give this a shake if things fall into place.

13. Salateen (6)

Ran 3rd in this race last year. Should get a good run in transit and likeable effort last start.

14. Comrade Rosa (4)

Consistent and gets a good run in transit. This race is within reach.

15. Opal Ridge (12)

Clearly on top and should take a stack of beating. Will need some luck from the draw but looks very hard to beat from there and looks better than these.

16e. Finepoint (15)

Can’t have.

17e. Ekaterina (16)

Mixing form. Good enough to take this out if within firing range.

18e. Aureus Angel (18)

Tough draw but racing super. Wouldn’t shock.
