Race Tip

DONTBELATE (7) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fourth over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. FIRST DEPUTY (3) has switched yards since finishing sixth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 6½f at this track. Expecting a bright start for the new mentor. MR PHIL (9) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Top-three chance on best figures. WINNING DRIVE (5) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 7f at this track 11 weeks ago. Commendable record at this trip with a win and six minor placings and should be in the finish.
