Merson Cooper Stakes 2022 Preview
Track: Good Weather: Cloudy
Plenty to learn here but hard to get away from the Godolphin camp who have 3 runners in the race including the 2 favourites Cylinder and Remedies. Remedies won nicely on debut, Zahra sticks and can make it 2/2 here. Cylinder hit the line well in a high rating race and is drawn to do no work. Some solid trials have been produced by Gangitano and Fludway, both of which are market watches. Little Brose next best after a solid 2nd on debut in open company.
Merson Cooper Stakes 2022 Runner by Runner
1. Little Brose (8)
Sound enough debut in open company and that form should hold up here. Respecting the placement by the stable and monitor any market moves for it.
2. Cylinder (1)
Loved how Cylinder attacked the line on debut. If gate 1 can be used to advantage this race is certainly within reach and it can fight it out with its stablemate.
3. Heuristic (6)
Sound on debut behind a very smart galloper and did start well in the market that day. Danger to its stablemates in this and Jamie Kah is a key booking.
4. Bona Fide Star (5)
Ddin’t have much luck on debut but ran okay. Respecting the placement here, keep safe and an eye on the market.
5. Celui (4)
Okay jump out. The stable have a good opinion of this one and it should be landing somewhere on the speed. Newitt has a knack of winning on big priced runners. Keep safe.
6. Fludway (3)
Decent trial win on the Kenso and that kind of jump out usually holds in good stead in these kinds of races. Reespect any market moves.
7. Gangitano (9)
Liked the jump out win and it showed off a solid turn of foot. Williams is a strong booking, respect the market.
8. Hell (2)
Hell has been well tried in early markets and should find this a suitable race. Allen is booked and it is drawn and maps to have all the favours in running. This race is suitable.
9. Hydrogen Power (7)
Solid jump out and this race is within reach. Respect the market.
10. Remedies (10)
Did everything right on debut showing off a neat turn of foot and can go on with things here. The time wasn’t flash but it was eased up to the line and looked very impressive to the eye. Goes on top and Mark Zahra sticks.
