The other traditional Roman Consul Stakes lead-up run is Randwick’s Listed Heritage Stakes (1100m) run on George Main Stakes Day in September, which produced the Godolphin-raced Viridine (2017) for his win.

In 2020 Wild Ruler won the Roman Consul Stakes before a Coolmore Stud Stakes third then Group 1 Moir Stakes win the following spring to earn a slot in the 2021 The Everest field.

Roman Consul Stakes Tips

Some Roman Consul Stakes tips include backing the odds-on favourite, checking for top four performers coming off a Golden Rose Stakes run and getting behind the proven Sydney performers.

Another useful tip in preparation for the race is that Roman Consul Stakes winners rarely salute at double-figures so backing the favourite and those under the $10 mark for the win is also a nice betting tip.

  • To Win: #1 Coleman ($3.60 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Deserving favourite still at nice odds, this son of Pierata is a colt going places if his lead-up Group 1 runs against the older horses are anything to go by. Don’t be fooled by the back-to-back sixths, both were very game and he’ll improve leaps and bounds back against the three-year-olds third-up and fit now. Fresh he was only 1.36 lengths off Mornington Glory in the Moir before his Ladbrokes Manikato run over this distance at The Valley had him three lengths off Southport Tycoon and a confirmed The Everest contender in Growing Empire (3rd). This is much easier, his Sydney form from the autumn was excellent including that heartbreak second in the Golden Slipper to Lady Of Camelot. Versatile, handles all going, ready to win.
