Railway Stakes Contenders

Having spectacularly flopped in the Stradbroke Handicap, Black Heart Bart has been rejuvinated this term and backed up some previous course form to win his last 2 starts at Ascot. The Blackfriars gelding took the Group 3 Northerly Stakes from Wink And a Nod by the tightest of margins and had Magnifisio a neck behind in the Group 2 Waroa-Lee Streere Stakes last time out. Those wins were both over 1400 and Vaughn Sigley’s 5-year-old has been well backed to make the step up in trip and land that elusive first Group 1.

Delicacy made a winning debut over track and trip 12 months ago and is no stranger to running over further, so it would be no surprise to see the Grant Williams-trained 4-year-old win here after finishing less than a length behind the market leader in the Waroa-Lee Streere Stakes.

Real Love will be a week fresher than the aforementioned duo and will be having his first try at 1600m, though has ran further, so stamina should not be a concern. Adam Durrant’s charge clearly loves it at Ascot and bounced back from a couple of poor efforts at Caulfield to land the Group 3 Starlight-Asian Beau Stakes at his favoured venue at the end of last month.

Turn Me Loose will of course be a big player if taking part after landing a hat-trick with success in the Group 1 Emirates Stakes, though a busy schedule may have taken it’s toll. Bow Creek has plenty to find on Emirates running, but had gone close with Turn Me Loose in the Group 2 Crystal Mile, so can’t be easily ruled out either.

Disposition has twice finished a runner-up at Ascot and was on song in the Group 3 Guvera Stakes before finishing mid-division behind Turn Me Loose at Flemington, while Magic Artist was fourth in that race having filled the same place a week earlier in the Group 1 Mackinnon Stakes.

It’s into double-figure odds about the remainder of the field and remember, whichever runner you settle on, use Luxbet for your Railway Stakes bet to pick up a bonus if your horse runs 1st 2nd or 3rd.
