This years Queen Elizabeth Stakes is dominated by odds on favourite It’s A Dundeel who will be looking to make it four straight Group 1 victories although he will be up against the older horses today with the Chris Waller trained Reliable Man receiving some support from those who dont want to take the odds on for the favourite. We take a look at each of the runners in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and give our thoughts, tips and odds on what looks to be a great race.
1. Manighar Preview:
Manighar is a multiple Group 1 winner although he has been disappointing this preparation especially his first two runs where he finished basically last in both of them. His last race in the George Ryder was a lot better although id be happy to risk him against this quality field.

2. Reliable Man Preview:
Reliable Man has been given big wraps by Chris Waller and he has some very good horses so he must have impressed him in work a lot. His run in the George Ryder on debut in Australia was huge and he will improve from that run. He looks the main danger to It’s A Dundeel if there is one.

3. Glass Harmonium Preview:
Glass Harmonium was ridden quietly in the Doncaster Mile on the weekend which doesn’t suit him. Likely to go forward in the race and in a race without much speed should get some easy sectionals and be hard to run down.

4. Happy Trails Preview:
Happy Trails is a very talented galloper although he hasn’t found his best this preparation with a tenth in the Doncaster Mile on the weekend. I expect him to run better this week although i doubt he can win the race but could place at good odds.

5. Lamasery Preview:
Lamasery ran very well in the Ajax Stakes last start were he hit the line strongly. He will be suited of the further distance in which he has a good record over and i think at the $81 you can still get he is a very good place bet.

6. Silent Achiever Preview:
Silent Achiever’s race i feel was the BMW but she couldn’t get the job done. She had the right track conditions and was weighted well. I dont think she goes into this race as a winning chance but she can definitely place.

7. Secret Admirer Preview:
Secret Admirer hasn’t won a race since the Epsom Derby in 2011 and is becoming a bit of a non winner which is a concern. She can put in a big run every now and then and should be included in your trifectas and first fours.
