Race Tip
WELL IN SIGHT (7) has switched yards since finishing ninth four weeks ago over 5½f at Hawkesbury. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. POMADE (6) was going well before a lay-off with two straight minor placings. Proven when resuming performer back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. HOKOLESQUA (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when eighth, beaten 5 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal. KING JESTER (2) returned from a lay-off a week ago when he was beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh over 4¾f at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
