4:05am - HYLAND RACE COLOURS CHALLENGE STAKES [GROUP 2] | 1000m | Group 2 | i

A field full of speedsters and a rapid STRONG tempo is almost guaranteed. NATURE STRIP is clearly the class runner over 1000m at his best, but he does mix his form and perhaps not even his last start G1 performance can be trusted. If he's not at his best EDUARDO is the logical threat after running 2nd to Classique Legend at this track last prep. WRITTEN BEAUTY and SPLINTEX both should run honest races too, WRITTEN BEAUTY one of the more progressive horses in the race if she can put it all together.
