Race Tip

MARKS ICON (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1m2f at Canberra. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. JUDGE JACK (5) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 7f at Tamworth. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. DRUNKEN SAILOR (3) finished 4.5 lengths away in ninth last time out over 7f at Canberra two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will find this a little easier than last time. Sure to be competitive. GRENOBLE (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 3.5 lengths away in seventh over 1m2f at Queanbeyan. Capable of featuring prominently.
