Race Tip

KING JESTER (3) is racing well this campaign, including a last start win over 4¾f at this track to bring up three wins from four runs in the campaign. Form here at this distance is sound with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Expected to go very well. PLAGIARIZED (6) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 4½f at Innisfail after showing good early speed. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to make a big impact. BOLD TYPE (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Townsville, most recently beaten 2.25 lengths into third over 6f at Townsville when he was prominent throughout. Ryan Wiggins gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GO GETABOY (2) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5f at Townsville. Definite top-three chance.
