2019 TEA ROSE STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Easily one of the main highlights of the afternoon with this year's Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes. Expect a solid tempo over the 1400m journey.

LIBERTINI (1) was dynamite fresh before coming off that performance last start when just doing enough to gun down Villami. Gets out beyond 1200m for the first time and gets on to a heavy track for the first time. Her mum loved it and the fact she lines up suggests they are confident she will handle it. All class and should prove hard to beat.

FUNSTAR (5) couldn't reel in Yao Dash first up, but her performance still held plenty of merit and she should improve sharply with that run under the belt. Already a heavy track winner and looms as a major threat.

FLIT (4) was very good behind Libertini first up and like the fact she comes here fresh (28 days). Should relish the step up in trip and has to be respected. ANAHEED (2) eats the mud and appears the next in line.
