5:35am - TAB T J SMITH STAKES | 1200m | Group 1 | i

Some of the fastest horses in the world line up in the TJ Smith, high class sprinters NATURE STRIP, PIERATA, SANTA ANA LANE and REDZEL come up against the 3YOs BIVOUAC, EXCEEDANCE and LOVING GABY. Perhaps EXCEEDANCE hasn't quite found his form this prep, the others all winning chances depending on how the race plays out. NATURE STRIP has electric speed and only needs to find his rhythm to kick on and be hard to run down, but the ever reliable REDZEL and VEGADAZE will be putting the pressure on. BIVOUAC the one that maps well and should win this if he produces his G1 Newmarket rating from two starts ago. PIERATA and LOVING GABY always fight hard and watch for the late surge from SANTA ANA LANE if the swoopers are suited. This is a proper G1 race. [updated 9:35am]
