Shannon Stakes 2020 betting odds, tips & form

Just Thinkin
Just Thinkin’ is well in the market for Saturday’s Group 2 Shannon Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.

The Group 2 Shannon Stakes over 1500m opens the quaddie at Rosehill on Saturday, and a quality field has come together to battle for the $200,000 prize. The Snowden team have the favourite in I Am Superman, who did a smash-and-grab job at Caulfield four weeks back when holding out proven Group performers in Nonconformist, Toffee Tongue and Reykjavik over 1400m. The race is set to jump at 3:30pm AEST and looks the perfect entree to the Group 1 Golden Rose.

Best BetJust Thinkin’ Get the best odds

Just Thinkin’ was soundly beaten at Newcastle last Friday in the Cameron Handicap by handy one in Rock. He looked to be in trouble at the turn but found another effort and made nice ground to finish second. Her second performance before that was a gritty win when taking a sit behind the leader. From barrier five, he maps to get the run of the race just off the pace and may take some catching the home straight. Getting the blinkers on again can only benefit him. Note that Tim Clark retains the ride over stablemate Riodini, who is on the fourth line of betting.

This was like splitting hairs between the top two in the market, but the slight difference in race fitness might relegate this Snowden galloper to second. Kerrin McEvoy is on board again, but I Am Superman has yet to run a place with the champion hoop in the saddle. He beat home a nice field first up at Caulfield and was quickly back on his float to Sydney for this race in a lead up to the Epsom Handicap. He may get trapped deep from barrier seven, but that did not seem to phase him at Caulfield.

Despite the wide draw, Josh Parr should be able to get this 5YO gelding up on speed and help dictate the running in the Shannon Stakes. He was beaten at the 200m mark first up in the Cameron Handicap at Newcastle but will take benefit from the run. He may prove tough to catch here if given an easy time of it up front.
