Recent Stocks Stakes results

• 2022: Daisies defies track pattern
  Multiple Group winner Daisies showed all her class when coming from the rear of the field to claim the 2022 Stocks Stakes. On a night where it was a massive disadvantage to be settled in the second-half of the field, her chances look shot 100m into the event. However, with the leaders trying to run it at a farcically slow tempo, the race was set up perfectly for Damian Lane and Daisies ($6.50) who managed to loop the field and subsequently hold out the fast-finishing Elusive Express ($16), while race leader Lady Of Honour ($4.40) held on for third, beaten a head.
• 2021: So You Assume runs rivals ragged
  The Shane Nichols-trained mare So You Assume was a rapid improver through the winter months, winning three of four starts in July and August and with a six week freshen-up behind her, the mare returned a winner in the Stocks Stakes. Under an inch-perfect front-running steer from Dean Yendall, So You Assume ($8.50) had her better credentialed rivals chasing a long way out. Magna Bella ($14) finished 1.5 lengths off the eventual winner, whilst Quauntum Mechanic ($5) nosed out race favourite Only Words ($4.60) back in third. It was all honours the winner though, as So You Assume handed Shane Nichols his third win in the Stocks Stacks with I Am A Star saluting in 2017 & 2018.
• 2020: Mystic Journey back to her best
  There was little doubt that Mystic Journey was the class animal of the 2020 Stocks Stakes field and the legend from Tasmania further added to her already impressive career record. The Adam Trinder-trained mare was sent around as a $6.50 chance and despite being forced to travel three and four wide the trip, managed to grind down race favourite Perfect Jewel ($2.50) in a stirring battle down the Moonee Valley straight. With just a neck separating the two on the line, it was a further four lengths back to One More Try ($31) in third place.
• 2019: Princess Jenni shows class
  The David Brideoake-trained Princess Jenni ($3.90) came with a well-timed run under Damien Oliver to win the 2019 Group 2 Stocks Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley, notching her fifth win from nine career starts. The winner of the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) at three, Princess Jenni was having her second start since commencing her four-year-old career and made good improvement from her first-up seventh in the Group 2 Let’s Elope Stakes (1400m). New Zealand-trained mare Rondinella ($8) was held up for a run at a crucial stage and finished second, while Oceanex ($5.50) found the line well for third to nab an all important Group Two placing.
