MULLINS LAWYERS FRED BEST CLASSIC - GROUP 3 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 5.96)  

Solid tempo likely from Stay Focused and Spicy Martini. The well-related BOSUSTOW (1) (half to G1 winner Amelia's Jewel) couldn't have been more impressive saluting by six lengths in the Gold Coast Guineas when resuming and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that dominant victory. Can go up another level again. JUST PARTY (3) went down by the narrowest of margins when resuming and looks to have come back well. In the mix. MEDIA WORLD (4) has put back-to-back wins together and is a must for the multiples. STAY FOCUSED (6) next in line in a cracking edition of the $300,000 Group 3 Fred Best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bosustow to win again.
