Taking one to go back to back in the Tips and Race Preview for the 2021 Turnbull Stakes at Flemington on Saturday.

Verry Elleegant is such a grand mare. She is $2.30 in the 2021 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on Saturday.

2021 TURNBULL STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Think Persan can hold a handy spot from one and Mount Popa works across from out wide but Incentivise likely leads them at no more than an even gallop. Great clash at the top end. VERRY ELLEEGANT (4) is outstanding at 2000m and particularly third up where she is four from five at the trip. Won the Ranvet beating Addeybb at this point of last prep and going at least as well this time around after powering clear in the George Main last time.

INCENTIVISE (3) kept his winning streak alive back at the mile in the Makybe Diva and will be better suited back up in trip now. Verry Elleegant will come at him harder than anything he has seen to date but he's a terrific talent.

Really liked the return of SIR DRAGONET (1) behind Incentivise last time and while this may pan out in much the same way for him he must be respected. Both he and COLETTE (8) can be powering home and both look on track to play a role in big races through this spring.
