Race Tip

TOKYO RUN (3) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher Tulloch Stakes won by Wymark over 1m2f at Rosehill, beaten 5.5 lengths into ninth. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from five starts. Leading contender. SANBANO (8) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 1.2 lengths last time out over 1m at Newcastle. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Finds an easier assignment and can get the chocolates. I'M SCARLETT (4) broke her maiden last start over 7f at Moree, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Re-unites with Wendy Peel who was on board last start. This is tougher but she is capable of another big run. LOZEN (10) improved sharply last time out to score by a nose over 1m at Orange two-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
