Australia Stakes 2024 Preview
Track: Good Weather: Fine
A few of these runners are dual nommed so expect some scratchings. Veight looks hard to beat resuming and maps well with the light weight. Lane steers and he is in good form. Recommendation has a tricky draw to overcome but is heading in the right direction. Brave Mead will look to sit up on the speed and gets favours from barrier 3. Southport Tycoon is a market watch fresh while Scentify has sound claims.
