#YOUCANBETONUS! PINNACLE STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Texas Red, Savannah Storm and Wecangoallnight. TEXAS RED (1) is better than his last start run suggests. He has won twice, finished second twice and third twice from eight starts over this course and distance. On previous form, he may be the one to side with. WHITE PEARL (2) stayed on well to finish fourth of 12 after a slow start over this course and distance last time. From an inside draw and rates well as a leading chance. BUSSTOPINHOUNSLOW (7) resumes from a spell from which may have done him the world of good. He has won once and finished third once from three starts over this course and distance. Has solid each-way claims. GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE (3) placed third last start at this track and should be prominent in the running. Can sneak into the finish at odds.
