McEwen Stakes 2024 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine
Tricky race to sort. Oscar’s Fortune does look well placed in this field. Maps for a good run and can build off a strong first up run. Baraqiel has built a superb record and will be very hard to stop. Mornington Glory can bounce back after not being able to make it four wins on the trot. This race suits. I Am Unstoppable is worth thought after a very strong second when resuming.
2024 McEwen Stakes Runner by Runner
1. The Inferno (3)
Can’t have.
2. Oscar’s Fortune (7)
3. Mornington Glory (4)
Class runner who couldn’t make it 4 in a row and had no luck last start. Should be going close and flies on this track. Big chance and is over the odds in early markets.
4. Steparty (8)
Can’t have.
5. I Am Unstoppable (9)
Big return at a large price. May have come back better this prep and can give this a shake however does look short enough in the market.
6. Talbragar (6)
Prefer others.
7. Celui (2)
Leaning to others.
8. Baraqiel (5)
Class runner who has an outstanding record and continues to win. Should get a lovely run from the kind draw and warrants big respect in race of this depth.
9. Extratwo (1)
