TAB 4RACING APP PINNACLE STAKES 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. FAIRY KNIGHT (1) has a great strike-rate including three wins and a placing from four tries this course and distance. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside barrier. CRUISE CONTROL (2) scored by a neck first up from a spell last time out over 1000m at Fairview. Great record course and distance. Among the top chances. MERCANTOUR (3) lines up on the back of a 7 length fifth over 1200m at Fairview. Has a top record here with five wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Back in grade for this after tackling stakes class last time. Can do much better. CLIFF TOP (4) finished 10 lengths behind the winner in ninth place when resuming over 1200m last start in Listed grade at Fairview. Has a decent second up record. Likely improver.
