Race Tip

AMNESTY (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 6¼f at this track after she was in contention on the turn. Will strip fitter and looks set to find best form. SILENTSAR (4) is back at the races for the first time since February 7. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Wyong. Has ability and should be right in the finish. FRENCH MARINE (10) went forward last start over 6f125yards at Coffs Harbour and held on well for second, beaten a neck. Likely to push forward from the wide draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. OAKFIELD DUKE (3) showed little early speed last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at this track over this journey. The addition of blinkers should see a bold run.
