2019 CHALLENGE STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Only a small field in this year's Challenge Stakes, though very much looking forward to the clash of Redzel and Estijaab.

REDZEL failed to fire in the VRC Sprint Classic prior to a break, however his performance to win the Everest still leaves him as clearly the horse to beast. Has trialled as well as ever and goes like a bomb fresh. Drawn to stalk Estijaab and should prove mighty hard to hold out.

ESTIJAAB returned from a lengthy break in fine order when game in defeat behind Fiesta. Since trialled very well and should give plenty of cheek out in front. BALL OF MUSCLE is very fast and looks to lead from the inside. Doubt he can topple the top two, but should be there for a long way.
