NEXT FAIRVIEW RACEMEETING FRIDAY 13 JUNE PINNACLE STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Plenty of pace from Lady Silvano, Grandiosa and Sun Spectacular vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. LUNA HALO (1) is better than her last start run suggests as she was reported to have a mouth injury. She has won three times, finished second once and third once from six starts over this course and distance. She jumps from a good draw of four and if not too far out of her ground she can return to winning form. LADY SILVANO (2) is a winner of her last two starts. She has won three times, finished second once and third twice from eight starts over this distance. She is likely to race on the speed and can bring up the hat-trick. RED SASH (3) is better than her last start as she raced wide around the turn. On previous form, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest. ESSENTIAL (4) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start to finish third of eight over 2000m at this track. Rates well as an each-way chance.
