Dulcify Stakes 2023 Preview
Track: Soft Weather: Fine
Tom Kitten comes up favourite and will be hard to topple in this race. Pushy has been doing everything right to date but will need some luck from the barrier. Cafe Millennium looks ready to win and does find the right opportunity here. Raf Attack has been around the mark and goes in the mix while Tannhauser maps for a very good run and can also give cheek in this suitable field. The tempo looks to be solid.
Dulcify Stakes 2023 Runner by Runner
1. Tom Kitten (7)
Racing in very good fashion and is the one to beat again. Should get a nice tow into things from the 7 and looks very hard to topple with the form it is in.
2. Kintyre (18)
Brings in very good form but barrier 18 is the big query. Needs a very good ride.
3. Tannhauser (3)
Maps well with the leading jockey aboard. Form is solid and should be giving this race a shake. Top 3 chance.
4. Cafe Millenium (11)
Maps tricky but racing around the mark this prep and deserves a win. Suited by the bigger track and should be steaming to the line late.
5. Ganbare (17)
Class above in a much easier race than this. Respect any market moves on this galloper
6. Pushy (15)
Keeps measuring up but will need some luck from the barrier. Hard to knock in the rich vein of form it is in and has very good upside. Big hope with even luck.
7. Noisy Boy (19)
Can’t have.
8. Ravello (13)
Good last start win. Much harder here. Goes in the mix but short enough.
9. Extreme Spirit (9)
Can’t have.
10. Agita (8)
Putting together a good record and goes in the mix against this lot from the solid barrier. Top 3 chance.
11. Raf Attack (10)
Not much luck last start. Can roll forward and does look nicely placed in this field. Top 4 hope.
12. Cap Ferrat (12)
Can’t have.
13. Long Genes (6)
Prefer others.
14. Ashfall (4)
Can’t have.
15. Port Lockroy (5)
Leaning to others.
