Race Tip

Group 3 winner ZARASTRO (1) was quickly into stride over 6f in the G3 WJ Healy Stakes at Eagle Farm last time and went on to score by 1.75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. Multiple Group 1 placegetter THE ASTROLOGIST (3) was prominent through the early and middle stages but peaked on his run and finished fourth when resuming over 6f in the LR Santa Ana Lane Sprint Series Final at this track last start. Likely improver. RIGHT TO PARTY (8) Group 3 placegetter. Has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 6f in the LR A. R. Creswick Stakes at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Should be in the finish. Group 1 placegetter CROSSHAVEN (6) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.3 lengths adrift in second over 6f at this track. Takes on tougher opposition this time but is ready for the challenge.
