Silver Slipper Stakes – 2024

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Open race. Espionage resumes off a break. Was excellent winning the Breeder’s Plate and should be improver. Straight Charge was behind it in the same race then resumed with a big win. Goes right in the mix off the back of that effort. Embassy hails from the Snowden camp and should be hard to hold out and set for this race while Erno’s Cube has more race experience than the main chances in the market and goes in the mix.

1. Espionage (3)

Had a tough run on debut and showed plenty to win. Gets barrier 3 upon resuming and looks well placed in this field. Should be hard to hold out and level of improvement will be the key.

2. Straight Charge (9)

Good effort when resuming and just missed the on top selection on debut. Has the race fitness on side and this suits

3. Embassy (4)

Can land up on the speed from barrier 4 and this race is a suitable target. J-mac rides and should give a bold sight against these.

4. Amazing Eagle (8)  – scratched

5. Gatsby’s (7)

Can’t have.

6. Yoshinobu (6)

Prefer others.

7. Erno’s Cube (1)

Class of the field that has the most race experience. Barrier 1 suits and this race is well within reach. Hard to beat.

8. Gai’s Artist (2)

Can’t have.

9. Celerity (5)

Maps for a kind run from barrier 5 and the effort on debut was sound. Goes in the mix here.

The following are the top 4 selections for this years race.

The track was rated as Soft 6.

Scratchings: 4. Amazing Eagle, 5. Gatsby’s.
