Ascot
Race 8 – Winterbottom Stakes
The class looks set to rise to the top with interstate raiders Terravista and Malaguerra to fight it out. The Wolf leans the way of the Orange Terra. He was brilliant first-up down the straight with 60.5kg chasing Redzel who stopped the clock in slick time. Like that he has had three weeks between the runs too as he flies fresh. Malaguerra was a tough winner in the Darley Classic (albeit against a luckless Spieth). Keen Array the big improver back to a bend.

Race 8 – Winterbottom Stakes
MALAGUERRA was a narrow winner at this level down the Flemington straight last start. That seems good form for this. TERRAVISTA just missed under the big weight when resuming and is better placed under these conditions. Rates highly. ROCK MAGIC is flying this season and should be hitting the line strongly late. Can threaten. STATE SOLICITOR was won six in a row and deserved a crack at a race like this. Don’t dismiss.

Race 8 – Winterbottom Stakes
Two serious sprinters at the top of the field look to be another level about a field of mostly locals in the feature. Teravista was an eye-catching run first-up in the Mumm Stakes over the carnival and was only narrowly beaten in a Group 1 earlier in the year. His failures in Sydney are a slight worry, but in previous campaigns, he has performed second-up. Malaguerra has won two Group 1s in his past four starts and will be extremely hard to beat again here. This should be easier than both of his runs over the carnival, and he has an outstanding record over this trip.
Tip: Malaguerra
