Ranvet Stakes 2022

Ladbrokes Tip: The Chipping Norton Stakes produces more Ranvet Stakes winners than any other lead-up race

The Ranvet Stakes is one of five elite level Group 1 races run at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse on Golden Slipper Day in March during the annual Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.

While the meeting’s feature race is the Group 1 $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) for two-year-olds, plenty of talented gallopers run across the card including in the Ranvet Stakes field. The event is contested over 2000m under weight-for-age conditions and offers a juicy $700,000 in total prize money including $402,000 for the Ranvet Stakes winner.

The traditional Ranvet Stakes lead-up is the Chipping Norton Stakes and the double was last achieved by that year’s subsequent Melbourne Cup champion Verry Elleegant (2021).

The Ranvet Stakes winner is also exempt from ballot for a number of other upcoming features during The Championships in April with many backing up in the Tancred Stakes (formerly The BMW), Queen Elizabeth Stakes and or the Sydney Cup over the two miles.

Avilius (2019) was the last galloper to complete the Ranvet Stakes – Tancred Stakes double, while UK raider Addeybb backed-up from his 2020 Ranvet victory to take out the Queen Elizabeth Stakes next-up.

In 2021 the same two horses from the previous year ran the Ranvet Stakes quinella in a thriller with Verry Elleegant reversing the order with her win over Addeybb.

The following year, Verry Elleegant returned as the odds-on favourite only to run second to Montefilia in an upset while Angel Of Truth ran third for the second year in a row.

The latest edition of the Ranvet Stakes ran on Saturday March 19, 2022 and saw the David Payne-trained Montefilia ($9.50) score a two-length upset over the beaten favourite Verry Elleegant ($1.24).

Ranvet Stakes Betting

Ranvet Stakes odds are usually dominated by proven weight-for-age horses with winning form at least up to 1600m. Horses that finished first or second in their lead-up runs also feature up the top half of Ranvet Stakes betting each year especially last start winners.

Of 16 the Ranvet Stakes winners from 2006 – 2022 all but five finished either first or second in their lead-up run. The Chipping Norton Stakes produced eight of those winners with another five coming out of the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m), most recently Gailo Chop (2nd in 2018) and Avilius (5th in 2019), run over the same distance at Flemington in Melbourne the week before.

In 2022 Montefilia improved on a seventh in the Chipping Norton to turn the tables on Verry Elleegant and post an upset win in the Ranvet Stakes at $9.50.

Favourites in Ranvet Stakes betting have an imposing record over the past decade or so with nine saluting from 2005 – 2022 – most recently Avilius ($4.40 in 2019) – including six on the trot from 2005 – 2009. In that time there were also a number of standout upsets with Zavite scoring at 100/1 in 2011 and Foreteller jumping at 30/1 for his 2013 win.

Gai Waterhouse-trained horses are also prominent in the Ranvet Stakes markets as she has prepared seven winners since 1996 including four consecutive champions from 2007 – 2010.

Ranvet Stakes Tips

Ranvet Stakes tips favour in-form weight-for-age horses that finished first or second in the Chipping Norton Stakes in the lead-up.

Tipping the Ranvet Stakes favourite has proved a goldmine for punters over the past two decades with the shortest priced in the markets coming up trumps more often than not. The weight-for-age conditions of the race favour experienced performers and Ranvet Stakes tips often sway towards horses aged five or over with just three horses younger than five winning from 2006 – 2022 most recently Montefilia (4yo mare in 2022).

• To Win: #5 Verry Elleegant ($1.35 at time of publish) 

Chris Waller’s Melbourne Cup heroine is impossible not to back this weekend to take her elite level tally up to 12. She was excellent saluting in the Chipping Norton last time out and presents fit third-up and ready to fire over an even more suitable distance. Class lacking in her five rivals and nothing but bad luck will see this queen beaten in her title defence.
