WORLD HORSE RACING GRAND HANDICAP
Results
PISANELLO (10) resumed with a very sharp win at Warwick Farm over 1000m, recording some slick late splits to win as a short-priced favourite. McDonald sticks, 1100m suits, the little niggle is the inside draw. KEENAN (5) resumes as a gelding. He's shown stakes level ability in his short career but has had issues with bone chips removed. He's worth keeping safe. SHESALLSHENANIGANS (7) resumes. She's a stakes winner over this route and was racing well without threatening some classy gallopers last time in. She looks a big each way price early. NAVAL ACADEMY (9) is flying with back to back wins and maps for a nice trailing run out wide here. ALONG THE RIVER (4) was dominant last time and can measure up.
