Tancred Stakes – 2024

Track: Soft Weather: Fine

Post Impressionist has good form for this race and will enjoy the kind draw. Hard to beat. Buckaroo looks well placed and was good to the line last start. Tom Kitten is very hard to catch but has the ability if on song. Military Mission has a tricky draw to overcome but goes in the mix.

1. Buckaroo (7)

Hit the line hard last run and is well placed in this field. Berry steers, the odds are appealing and should be set to peak against this lot.

2. Military Mission (10)

Barrier 10 could make things a little tricky but well placed against this lot and should prove hard to hold out if finding the front and control of the race.

3. Ashrun (1)

Maps to get all the favours but will need to get off the rail at some point. Should give this race a shake and does have the right form lines to be going close.

4. More Felons (2)

Hard to beat off the back of a good first up win. Should give this a shake.

5. Post Impressionist (3)

Defied the drift and won with plenty of authority fresh. Looks well suited to this field, maps nicely from the draw and hails from a leading camp. Appeals in this.

6. Gear Up (6)

Can’t have.

7. Kalapour (5)

Prefer others.

8. Bois D’argent (4)

This looks too tough.

9. Athabascan (11)

Prefer others.

10. Little Mix (8)

Can’t have.

11. Tom Kitten (9)

He’s too hard to catch recently. Can’t have him in this.
