Race Tip
CHILL THE KRUG (12) finished second at Bendigo two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside, finishing 6 lengths back in eighth. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. Group 3 placegetter ELKINGTON ROAD (3) raced in town last time and missed the frame, finishing seventh at Randwick and beaten 4.5 lengths. Won't find this assignment as tough. Better placed this time and is a genuine threat. EL ROCKO (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten one length, over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to stop. POWER MISSILE (9) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 5½f at Hamilton. Open to plenty of improvement and cannot be ruled out.
