GOING: G

WSB Best prices always first PINNACLE STAKES 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 23)   True  

Hot tempo expected with Shampompo Shampizi, Magic Tattoo and Diani heading the charge. COIN SPINNER (7) was well supported last start but ran below expectations finishing seventh of 12 at this track over 1200m. With Richard Fourie in the saddle can return to form. HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE (4) fought on strongly to finish for third of 14 last start over 1100m at Scottsville. Looks well placed here to take this race out. SHAMPOMPO SHAMPIZI (1) won by a head over 1200m at this track last start when sent out as the favourite. Jumping from the inside gate he can go back-to-back. SHANTASTIC (5) resumes from a spell and having placed fresh-up last prep is a must include in combinations.
