Race Tip

MANAVENDRA (2) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when 4 lengths away in sixth at Bunbury. Forgive recent form in better races. Set to bounce back this time. I DREAMED A DREAM (1) scored two starts ago at this track then was always a long way back against stiffer opposition last time before winding up in seventh over 1m1f at Ascot, beaten 4.5 lengths. Worth including in this easier race. PECOS (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m1 1/2f. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DEADLY AND FAST (7) went back early from his wide draw over 1m at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish fifth. One of the main contenders.
