GOING: G

bet365 Ararat Gold Cup 2200m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.11)  

Pittsburgh Pirate, Lottaroc and Cadre Du Noir to take up the running at a strong early tempo. STAUNCH (10) was outclassed in the G3 Bendigo Cup last time but had been going well in handy races prior and can bounce back. LOTTAROC (6) can mix his form but was good last time in the Horsham Cup when third, beaten narrowly. A repeat of that effort from a good draw has him right in the mix. PESTO (13) is right in this off his run two back at Mornington. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Staunch.
