BEST BET
TENTYRIS (R6 No.3 – $3.80)
Tentyris has been building to a big run third-up in the Coolmore Stud Stakes. He gassed out late when first-up in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes before winning from a position next start at Caulfield.
NEXT BEST
KING ZEPHYR (R5 No.13 – $2.70)
King Zephyr is back on a bigger track where he races bets. He gapped his rivals at Sandown two starts back before he was given too much to do at Caulfield. His best career win to date was at the track and distance.
FANGIRL (R8 No.2 – $4.40)
Fangirl is a class above her rivals at her best. She settled to far back in the King Charles III but she was a month between runs, and she should be closer in the run here from barrier six. Just two starts ago she was beating the likes of Lindermann and Ceolwulf in the 7 Stakes.
LAY OF THE DAY
PRIDE OF JENNI (R8 No.1)
Pride Of Jenni is at the stage of her career where she needs bigger gaps between runs to show anything near her best.
THE JOCKEY
MARK ZAHRA
VINROCK (R1 No.1 – $3.70), BOSUSTOW (R3 No.2 – $11), GETTA GOOD FEELING (R4 No.1 – $1.60), WARNIE (R5 No.6 – $8.50), TENTYRIS (R6 No.3 – $3.80), OBSERVER (R7 No.1 – $2.10), LEICA LUCY (R8 No.6 – $6).
