The Listed $100,000 De Bortolli Wines Festival Stakes over 1500 metres is a race for three-year-olds and upwards. There is a full field of 15 plus 1 emergency and the early betting is wide open with Theophorus and Walking Or Dancing equal favourites at $6.50.
Next in the market are Vintedge and Lyncean Academy both at $7.50, Rockwood at $9, Rabbuka, I’ve Got Talent and Ahdashim all at $10 then Parfumier at $12.
Lyncean Academy showed blistering acceleration with his win last start and could win again. Rabbuka hasn’t raced since May but has been trialling well. Love And Kisses ($41) won against colts and geldings last start and could go well here.
Jo’s tips: 1. Lyncean Academy, 2. Rabbuka, 3. Love And Kisses
