AU - Randwick - Race 7

SHANGRI LA SPRING (7) kept fresh when nailed late by his stablemate Major Beel to finish second over 1 ¼m in the LR Frank Underwood (ATC) Cup at Rosehill. Kept ticking over subsequently with a trial win at Randwick Kensington. Has further improvement to come and will take control from the inside gate. TAVI TIME (5) frustrating gelding stiff not to have won this pep. Given little chance from back in the field when ninth in the G2 The Ingham over 7 ¹³/16m at this track. Proven at the trip and comes here in peak condition. MAJOR BEEL (3) stalked the speed when a surprise winner of the LR Frank Underwood (ATC) Cup over this distance at Rosehill. Kept up to the mark with a 6 ¼f tick-over trial. Sticky map today and place prospects look best. IMPERIALIST (10) never looked comfortable in the run and eased down in the straight when a poor tenth in the LR Frank Underwood (ATC) Cup at Rosehill. Sent to the trials where he ran third over 6 ¼f. Worth another chance.
