Race Tip
Group 2 winner VILANA (6) was impressive last time over 6f in the G2 Moreton Cup at this track, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to feature. ANTINO (3) Group 2 winner. Found the line nicely but never threatened over 6½f in the G1 Kingsford Smith Cup at this track last time out when finishing midfield. Solid record here at this trip winning two races from three tries. Expected to feature. BELLA NIPOTINA (1) doomben 10,000 winner. Was a narrow winner by a nose in the G1 Doomben 10,000 in a then second in the G1 Kingsford Smith Cup at this track last time. Gets a little weight relief. Craig Williams who has scored on her five times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. All Aged Stakes winner MAGIC TIME (2) comes here off a last-start eighth, beaten 6 lengths, over 6½f at this track. One of the key chances.
