2025 Railway Stakes<\/div>\n
No. 12 Watch Me Rock<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

WATCH ME ROCK (4)<\/strong> goes into Saturday\u2019s Railway Stakes at Ascot as the dominant market elect, and Kiwi punters will find plenty to like about his profile. The five-year-old son of Awesome Rock has landed barrier four, a draw that gives him every chance to extend the formidable strike-rate of Team Williams and Willie Pike in Western Australia\u2019s premier mile.<\/p>\n

The combination is steeped in Railway history: Pike has already won the race five times, including four in succession between 2018\u20132021, while Grant & Alana Williams have prepared multiple champions of the event. With that partnership reunited, Watch Me Rock looks ideally placed to deliver on his first Group 1 assignment.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a genuine Ascot specialist, boasting eight wins from 10 starts at the course, and arrives third-up and fit after a narrow but decisive victory in the Group 3 Asian Beau Stakes (1400m) earlier this month. That performance underlined his toughness, and stepping to the mile now looks perfect. Importantly, he\u2019s unbeaten from two previous runs over 1600m, reinforcing his credentials at the trip.<\/p>\n
