Post Impressionist heads market for Group 1 Tancred Stakes

The Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) has attracted an ultra-competitive 11-horse field to battle it out for the $1.5 million prize at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon.

After an outstanding 3.4-length win last Saturday in the Group 3 N E Manion Cup (2400m), the William Haggas-trained Post Impressionist holds the call as a +130 favourite with online bookmakers.

Tom Marquand is the set to the partner the son of Teofilo once again and should get every chance to make it back-to-back wins from stall three.

The Chris Waller-trained Buckaroo is on the one-week back up after finding the minor money in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) and should appreciate getting out in trip third-up into the campaign.

Tommy Berry takes the reins on Saturday, with the five-year-old placed on the second line of betting at +380 with online betting sites.

The Godolphin three-year-old Tom Kitten (+600) takes on the older horses after a mid-field finish in last Saturday’s Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) and warrants plenty of respect.

The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Military Mission (+800) rounds out the chances at single digits, while the pair ofAshrun and More Felons are likely to gain support at the +900 apiece.

The 2024 Tancred Stakes headlines the action this Saturday at Rosehill and is set to get underway at 4:35pm local time.
