Fairview Race 2 - Racing Today Pinnacle Stakes (F & M)
DIRECT HIT (1) returns from a 16-week break which would have done her the world of good. Finished off last preparation when winning at Scottsville in the G1 Allan Robertson Championship May 31 over 1200m when sent out as the hot favourite. She is the class horse and should keep her unbeaten record intact. MONTELENA (4) was doing her best work late over 1400m on the polytrack last time when finishing third of eight over 1400m at Fairview. SWEETIE DARLING (3) is better than her last start over 1400m on the polytrack. The daughter of Royal Mo is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance and merits healthy respect. ELLORIX (2) bounced back to winning form last start and scored a game win over 1000m at Fairview All Weather. Has each-way claims.

Unbeaten in four starts. Resuming after a four months break. Finished off last preparation winning won by 1.1 len Scottsville G1 Allan Robertson Championship May 31 over 1200m defeating Elegantrix with 60kg at $1.60. At her first start favourite; to post a big 7 len win. This track January 17 over 1000m defeating Royal Kingdom carrying 57.5kg at $1.60. Could prove too smart for these.
