Race Tip

CALANDAGAN (1) overcame a rearward position to land the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud by a neck on latest appearance. Won last year the King George and G1 Champion Stakes. Brings strongest course form and sets the standard. MASQUERADE BALL (4) finished a head behind the main selection in the G1 Japan Cup before missing against a classy rival by 1L at Sha Tin. Main danger. BENVENUTO CELLINI (9) followed his Chester Vase success with a 1. 75L G1 Irish Derby victory and receives 11lb from the older horses. Makes some appeal. MINNIE HAUK (7) was 4L second in the G1 Prince of Wales Stakes and her three Oaks wins confirm this longer trip suits. Not discounted.
