2018 MACKINNON STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Trap For Fools is the leader. Think Latrobe will want to press forward and try and make it a test of stamina.

BLAIR HOUSE finds a very winnable Group 1 here. Ran up to win the Caulfield Stakes last time but couldn't force his way past Benbatl who backed that form up with a top effort in the Cox Plate. This looks lengths easier than that contest and he should get a soft run on the back of the speed from barrier two.

TRAP FOR FOOLS can be in this for a long way. Top effort in the Moonee Valley Cup and better suited back to this trip.

LATROBE may need further but he will stick on. Irish Derby winner has to be respected. Shillelagh won well last week and has a hope off that.
