Race Tip

MALTESE CROSS (2) is a four-time winner from six career starts. Managed an excellent 2. 75L second in the G1 Derby at Epsom Downs on soft ground before a narrow victory tackling the 1m4f G1 Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp (France) and with a good trainer strike rate at York ticks plenty of boxes. CHRISTMAS DAY (1) maintains a consistent profile having placed third in the 1m2f G2 Dante Stakes here before winning the aforementioned G1 Epsom Derby. Continued the top-class form managing a 1. 75L runner-up effort attempting the 1m4f G1 Irish Derby at Curragh. Main danger. PIERRE BONNARD (5) was a G1 winner in France last season when landing the 1m2f G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Best effort since was a 2L third contesting the G1 Irish Derby fifty two days ago. Big claims. SUPERIOR CHOICE (6) seeks a four-timer after a 1. 75L success in the 1m3f Listed Glasgow Stakes at Hamilton Park. Next best.
