LEXUS AMANDA ELLIOTT
Results
NAVY PILOT (2) was well supported in the G1 Caulfield Guineas last time out and ran relatively well when battling away for sixth. The win prior was strong when getting over the top of his rivals at Sandown Hillside and back to 1400m looks to suit while also getting J-Mac on board. BACASH (4) was run down by Navy Pilot at Sandown but has come out of that and won dominantly at Caulfield since. Keeps raising the bar and will take beating again. RIPLEY (7) is a lightly raced horse who won dominantly fresh at Rosehill, trying hard in a strongly run Gothic Stakes behind some class sprinters. Suited up in trip now and if he can get across from the wide gate he'll take beating. BURMA STAR (8) hit the line well at Rosehill in a BM72 when last seen, winning dominant prior. Very wary of Waller bringing him down here. GRAND PRAIRIE (3) is off a let-up here and drawn wide but has the class through his Sydney form to be competitive.
