The best bets for Saturday racing from the team.
Keen to be with Lazzura (3) here who comes down from Sydney off the back of a dominant win in the G3 Show County at Randwick, the 1.4 length margin underselling the performance. She settled last and rounded them up with ease with a sharp turn of foot that she's shown in the past. 1400m will only suit better and the draw just looks perfect with McDonald on who should stalk the speed and get to the outside in the straight.
Catch The Glory (9) underrated mare rewarded for her consistency when sprinting quickly for a dominant win over 1100m at this track. Gets the right race shape again and adept in all conditions. Hard to hold out.
Misterkipchoge (2) has been plying his trade in harder Sydney metropolitan contests and is sure to appreciate the sharp drop back in grade here. Will be rock-hard fit for this and looks ready for the step-up in trip now. Rates the testing material.
Shmoov Moova (9) just missed out over 1200m at this track last time out when only 0.2L off the winner. Pike hops back in the saddle now and he was a winner in his only run over this trip. Can land in a good position from the draw and he looks ready to go one better.
Tropical House (11) is an above average mare and suspect she can continue on her winning ways here. She draws perfectly and is very well in at the weights after the 3kg claim. Hard to see her not getting the run of the race and being there to pounce at the top of the straight.
