TAB 4RACING APP PINNACLE STAKES 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Expecting a slick tempo with Zatara Magic, Harold The Duke and My Best Shot leading the way. MY BEST SHOT (1) was super-impressive when winning the Listed WSB East Cape Derby last time. He showed a good turn of foot and won a lot easier than the official margin suggests. He should be ideally suited to this distance and will take a power of beating. ZATARA MAGIC (2) won his last start over this course and distance, easier than the official margin suggests. Has each-way claims. JOY AND PEACE (3) is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance. Resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously should be finishing in the money. GLOBAL ALLY (5) was running on well when second over 1600m on this course last time. He finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. Is in the mix.
