Emirate Stakes

Race 7 The Emirate Stakes Group 1 1600m
There are some great horses going around in this race with quite a few that I have rated on top. Mimi Lebrock trained by Bart (The Cup King) Cummings who got beaten 2.7 lengths in the Myer Classic over the same trip carrying 57kg and now with only 53 kg in this I am looking for quite an improvement. The other horse Bank Robber trained by Gai Waterhouse isn’t here just to have a look around. Last start 2nd beaten 1.3 lengths by Theseo in the Group 3 Epsom Hcp over 1600m. Don’t let the fact that this horse hasn’t had a run since then put you off, if you have a look at its form I think Gai is spacing’s his runs to suit. There are 3 more I like here the Mark Kavanagh trained Sea Battle whose form is excellent winning the Jayco Crystal Mile last start. The next horse is Conquering that ran second to Sea Battle in that race and finally Serious Speed dropping 5.5 kg from a gallant 1.8 lengths 4th in the Tristarc Stakes which was won by Mimi Lebrock. I feel that any of these 5 could really give this a shake.
