Race Tip

Group 1 placegetter THE SPECIALIST (4) did a good job last start to finish second in the G1 Premier's Champion Stakes at Greyville over 1m, beaten 0.7 lengths. Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Sure to go very well. FOSTINOVO (1) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth beaten 2.25 lengths over 6f at this track. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts and shapes as a key contender. Group 2 placegetter MOUNT PINATUBO (5) is back in class after finishing 10 lengths away in 11th over 1m in the G1 Premier's Champion Stakes at Greyville six weeks ago. Worth including in this easier race. BEAMONESQUE (6) was beaten 3. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
