Race Tip

Caulfield Guineas winner GRIFF (2) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at Flemington after being in contention on the turn two weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Should settle handy in the run. Will play a major role. Group 2 winner CHRYSAOR (4) was an impressive when resuming winner last time out in an easier race over 7f in the LR Tontonan (Sofitel) Stakes at Flemington, getting home by half a length. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the winning hopes again. CRAIG (11) was an impressive winner last time over 7f at Caulfield. Drifted back on that occasion then lengthened impressively to score by 2.25 lengths. Tackles a much tougher assignment but he should be involved in the finish. NICOLINI VITO (5) Group 2 placegetter. Has recorded five minor placings from eight runs this campaign. Produced another good performance last time out when second over 7f in the LR Tontonan (Sofitel) Stakes at Flemington. In a suitable race and can play a major role.
