Race Tip
Group 1 winner PLANETARIO (6) is overdue for a win with three placings from three starts this campaign, the latest effort a third over 1m2f in the G2 Charles Whittingham Stakes at this track (Turf). Ready to find winning form. Group 2 winner OFFLEE NAUGHTY (3) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten a long neck, over 1m2f here last time. Expected to measure up. Group 1 winner ROCKEMPEROR (2) will appreciate the longer journey after finishing a solid sixth when resuming last start over 1m2f in the G2 Charles Whittingham Stakes at this track (Turf). Right in the mix. Group 3 placegetter RIMPROTECTOR (1) scored last start at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Will find this much tougher but is not to be discounted.
