Race Tip
PERILOUS FIGHTER (2) hasn't raced since finishing eighth at Caulfield and has been gelded in the break. Can return in winning form. MANTUA (4) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 5½f at Flemington. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. LADY DI DI (3) settled well back when 3.5 lengths from the winner in tenth over 6f at Ballarat last start, a less impressive effort than her when resuming fifth at Caulfield the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ELBA (5) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Cranbourne to kick off the last campaign. Worth plenty of thought.
