Nature Strip Stakes Preview & Best Bets

The Nature Strip Stakes takes place on Saturday. Private Eye has been turned into a sprinter since his last run. Lost And Running was scratched from The Everest. David Vandyke has chosen to keep the aptly named gelding Weona Smartone in NSW. The Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Mazu has won three starts without a win. He was third in The Sydney Stake last start. The gelder has a career record of seven wins from his 14 starts. His most recent start was in the Group 2 Premiere St.akes. It's possible that he could be beaten over 1300m.
