Race Tip
Golden Horse Sprint winner GIMME A PRINCE (8) is back from a lay-off of a year. Was narrowly beaten at his only appearance when last in work in the G3 Matchem Stakes at this track over 7f. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. Multiple Group 1 placegetter AT MY COMMAND (4) disappointed as favourite last time when fifth over 6f at Greyville. Prior to that he had been in the money two races on end. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will play a major role. Group 3 winner QUESTIONING (10) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 6¼f at this track. Has a liking for this trip and is among the winning hopes again. Group 2 winner ZAPATILLAS (2) finished third last time over 6¼f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 3 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be ruled out.
