2018 AJ SCAHILL STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Easily the main highlight of the afternoon with this year's Group 3 AJ Scahill Stakes. Speed anticipated from Valour Road, Great Shot and Wrinkly.
VALOUR ROAD took a good step forward last start when finishing a close fifth in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes. Started well in the market there and now appears set to relish the step up to 1400m. All three runs this preparation have been very good and from the inside draw, he should lead and prove very hard to get passed.
ARCADIA PRINCE is the definition of flying and while this is obviously a step up, he is clearly trending the right way and looms as a major threat. GREAT SHOT is suited under the WFA conditions and appears the next best.
