Race Tip
IDEELIC (9) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 7f at Eagle Farm when when resuming from a lay-off. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should enjoy the significant drop in grade. Well placed so expecting a strong run. NO DOUBLE DIPPING (14) settled well back last start and never threatened when 29 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1m4 1/4f at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. BENFICA LASS (8) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in tenth over 7½f at Warwick. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. CHICKA (13) is yet to break through in 19 runs but wasn't far away last time when second over 7f65yards at Esk on May 18. Worth consideration.
