Race Tip

BARCELONA EXPRESS (4) was in the firing line on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 6½f at Coffs Harbour after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. UP THE COUNTRY (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6¼f at Newcastle, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. JAKAT (7) is backing up five days after finishing seventh over 7f at Tamworth. Worth another chance. TAKEMINE (9) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 6½f at Gunnedah, beaten 4.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
