2019 VICTORIA DERBY – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Thought Of That uses barrier one to go through and take it up with the likes of Navarre and Relucent handy. SHADOW HERO (1) was dominant when winning the Gloaming and then backed it right up winning the Spring Champion last time. Strong winner of that race and would only have to hold that form out to the longer trip, which looks like suiting, to be the horse to beat.
THOUGHT OF THAT (3) also comes off a high-rating win last time. Dominated from the front and ran good time. If he gets his rhythm it will take a good one to peg him back. SOUL PATCH (2) won the other key trial. Strong late in the Vase and there to pick up the pieces if the two big guns fail.
WARNING (4) is shaping as a strong stayer and while he lacks the talent of the top picks he should see out the journey well, as can LONG JACK (8) who had plenty in hand winning at Geelong.
