Race Tip

STATS (2) recorded another success last time over 6¼f at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Can't knock current form and he will run well again. CHOIR BOY (8) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 7½f at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Nathan Day is a key engagement. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. UNDER THE LIMIT (5) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 7f65yards at Home Hill after missing the placings at the previous appearance. The engagement of Gabrielle Semmens is a positive move. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. KNIFE'S EDGE (6) finished second last time over 1m at Rockhampton, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
