2020 TJ SMITH STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Easily the main highlight of the afternoon with this year's Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes. Plenty of speed engaged, they should fly.

PIERATA (2) closed off very well first up when a close fifth in the Galaxy. Was a sectional star there and sets up very well stepping up to 1200m. The wide draw suits, he handles all conditions and Berry knows him well. Has the talent to upstage a few of the big names here.

NATURE STRIP (1) went like a bomb last start, but the last thing really want to be doing is backing Nature Strip off a peak performance, he invariably flops. No question he's the one to beat if able to hold his form, but it has to be a niggle.

BIVOUAC (7) disappointed last start, but can bounce back in a big way. His Newmarket win was top drawer, while SANTA ANA LANE (3) is another who is more than capable.
