|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Shangri La Boy. SIXTIES (1) brings superior form fourth-up after rolling forward from the wide gate with a narrow third in the G1 Australian Guineas over 1600m at Flemington. Finds an easier contest and can round these up late from the awkward draw. WEST OF SWINDON (3) fitter now after a plugging sixth in the G1 Australian Guineas at his second run back. Can stalk the good tempo and worth noting he won the G2 Stutt Stakes over the mile in the Spring. Value player. PANOVA (10) Carbine winner in the Spring who takes on the colts and geldings second-up. No match for Tempted first-up when sixth over 1400m in the G1 Surround Stakes at Randwick. The engagement of Tommy Berry is noteworthy and look for her late. SHANGRI LA BOY (2) showed good speed on his return before knocking up badly to run seventh over 1400m in the G2 Hobartville here. Tongue-tie goes on and deserves another chance. FEDERALIST (8) solid return out wide with the 59kg to run second over 1400m at Pakenham. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sixties will justify the short price.
