Race Tip

EL CASTELLO (1) has scored at his last four starts, most recently by a long neck over 1m2f in the G1 Spring Champion Stakes at Randwick as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from four runs. Big chance once again. RED ACES (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second in the LR Super Impose Stakes at this track two starts back then landed the prize by a neck as public elect last time out over 1m2 1/4f in the G2 Moonee Valley Vase. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is right in contention. KING OF THUNDER (8) is on a seven-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1m2 1/4f in the G2 Moonee Valley Vase. Nice run last time and is a real danger. KINGOFWALLSTREET (6) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1m2f contest at Caulfield last time out by a nose. Major player.
