Each Way Danger: No. 3 Watch Me Rock

Best Roughie: No. 4 Let’s Galahvant

Held during early November on the same Saturday that Flemington hosts Champions Stakes Day to round out the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Group 2 race serves as a nice early lead-up for gallopers heading towards the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) a fortnight later and the Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m) in early December.

The Lee Steere Stakes – Railway Stakes double was last completed by Belle Bizarre (2006), while in 2017 the Lee Steere runner-up Great Shot went on to score an upset Railway Stakes result next race. The following year in 2018 the Lee Steer Stakes winner Gatting finished a brave second in the Railway Stakes results. Gatting would also go on to score a massive upset in the follow year’s Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington as a 100/1 shot!

Lead up events to the Lee Steere Stakes are few and far between, mainly because it’s held so early in the Perth Summer Racing Carnival but backing the top-tier horses in the field with previous Group 1 or 2 wins at the track is key to successful Lee Steere Stakes betting.

The 2023 Lee Steere Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Dom To Shoot finishing third next-up in the Railway Stakes trifecta before a win in that summer’s Group 1 Northerly Stakes.

Mid-December’s new Group 3 $1.5 million The Gold Rush also makes a nice summer target for Lee Steere Stakes graduates.

2026 Lee Steere Stakes Form Guide

The Lee Steere Stakes form guide is an invaluable tool for punters analysing one of Western Australia’s premier weight-for-age races. Run over 1400 metres at Ascot Racecourse, the Group 2 feature attracts a quality field of proven Perth performers, established stakes horses, and emerging stars looking to make their mark during the WA Summer Racing Carnival. The form guide provides detailed information on each runner’s recent performances, track and distance records, barrier draws, jockey and trainer combinations, speed ratings, and betting market movements. By studying the Lee Steere Stakes form guide, punters can identify which horses possess the form, class, and race fitness needed to excel in this prestigious Ascot event.

What Punters Should Look for in the Lee Steere Stakes Form Guide:

• Weight-for-age form – The Lee Steere Stakes is run under weight-for-age conditions, making proven class horses particularly difficult to beat.
• 1400m credentials – Horses with strong records at 1400m often have the ideal combination of tactical speed and finishing power for the race.
• Ascot form – Previous success at Ascot is a major advantage, especially for horses proven on the circuit’s unique layout and racing patterns.
• Lead-up race form – Key lead-ups often include the Asian Beau Stakes, Eurythmic Stakes and other spring features run at Ascot.
• Group and Listed race performances – Horses that have consistently competed well in black-type company often bring the strongest form lines into the Lee Steere Stakes.
• Recent sectionals – Strong closing splits or the ability to sustain speed throughout can indicate a horse ready to peak on race day.
• Barrier draw – An economical run from a favourable gate can prove crucial over Ascot’s 1400m journey.
• Track conditions – Assess whether runners are better suited to firm tracks or perform best when there is moisture in the ground.
• Racing pattern – Understanding which horses prefer to lead, settle on pace, or finish strongly can help predict how the race is likely to unfold.
• Trainer and jockey combinations – Leading Western Australian stables and jockeys have excellent records in the race and are always worth respecting.
• Interstate form references – Any horse bringing strong eastern states form into Perth can add a different dimension to the race.
• Betting market support – Steady market confidence or significant late money can provide important clues to stable expectations.
