2020 BJ MCLACHLAN STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Alpine Edge, Shaquero and Ghostwriter expected work to the lead at a strong tempo. SHAQUERO (1) led all the way to score on debut in the G3 Breeders' Plate at Randwick over 1000m on 3 October before going for a spell. Has since been kept ticking over with a Canterbury trial win. Magic Millions favourite who will be primed for this.

ALPINE EDGE (3) looks the pick of the locals after leading all the way to score on debut in the LR Phelan Ready Plate at this track over 1000m last start. Could cause an upset with the race fitness edge. BABY WONG (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest a close third to Alpine Edge in the Phelan Ready. Genuine colt who will be about the mark.

ASTROLOGER (6) got too far back from a wide alley in the Wyong Magic Millions 2yo Classic over 1100m, finishing fifth and beaten 5.8 lengths. Don't write him off with the blinkers on for the first time.
