Turnbull Stakes 2024 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Showers
Plenty of hopes. Via Sistina should have her fans. Enormous first up win but flat second up. Buckaroo is racing well and looking for a hat trick. Eliyass is also in flying form and warrants respect. Young Werther hasn’t been far away in this race in the past and is racing in career best form.

Looking for a hat trick and plenty to like about the last start win. Much harder here but goes in the mix.
4. Via Sistina (12)
Flat effort last start after an outstanding first up win which can happen with the imports. Hard to know where its at off a decent break but has the class.

Heavily tried in early markets and boasts a win on this track. Keep an eye on the moves.

Winning machine who is 9/11. Hard to knock on current form but does need to overcome the wide draw.

Classy when on song and should be set to peak third up. Good enough to win this.

Can’t have.
9. Sharp ‘N’ Smart (13)
Good second last start but much harder here.
10. Young Werther (2)

Can’t have.
