Best Bet - Queen Elizabeth Stakes
1
Anamoe $2.60
Anamoe is unbeaten this campaign.
The weight-for-age Champion of Australasia is flying, and his win last start in The Group 1 George Ryder was mind-blowing, arguably the performance of the autumn.
He looks ready for 2000m, and I expect him to produce a peak performance on Saturday.
His record at Randwick is incredible, he thrives at the distance, and his soft and heavy stats are out of this world.
The awkward barrier is the primary concern.
If he wins the $5,000,000 feature, I expect him to be mentioned in the same breath as So You Think.
I hope racing fans and punters appreciate how lucky they are to have Anamoe!

Dubai Honour $2.45
Dubai Honour was sensational at his Australian debut.
He won the Group 1 Ranvet in a canter, and his turn of foot was scintillating.
The Pride Of Dubai gelding grows a leg in the wet, and his winning record must be respected.
His international form reads well for this event, and his trainer William Haggas has an exceptional record in Australia.
With even luck in transit, I expect him and Anamoe to pair off and fight each other the whole way down the Randwick straight.
The primary concerns are the awkward barrier and the form out of the Ranvet.
This could be the match race of the autumn!

Cascadian $12.00
Cascadian is flying this preparation!
His All Star Mile run was eye-catching, and his win in the Australian Cup was breathtaking.
The rising nine-year-old performs well over 2000m, and his record at Randwick is ultra-consistent.
The New Approach gelding will appreciate the sting out of the ground, and he looks well placed jumping from a middle gate.
If Anamoe and Dubai Honour pair off too early, he could be Johnny on the spot.
He has been an excellent servant, and I expect him to run well regardless of race, shape, pattern, or tempo.
He is an owner’s dream!

$20 for 500%
I am sticking with ‘The Big A’, and I am happy to stand him one out.
He is versatile, he is ready to peak, and he is a Champion of our sport!
Dubai Honour is an obvious danger to our local hero.
He is the clear standout selection for second, while Cascadian, Mo’unga, Numerian, and Montefilia can all fill the minor end of our trifecta.
Best of luck!
