Race Tip

PROJETO (7) is a distance specialist who turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 5½f at Caulfield after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MOJO MUSIC (6) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 5f at Tumut when he came from a long way back on straightening. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. OH NO MIKKI (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 0.9 lengths into second after he was well back on straightening over 5f at Wagga. Nick Souquet gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SPARRING (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 4¾f at Moonee Valley. Cannot be underestimated.
