Race Tip

SQUARE DONUT (3) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 6¾f at this track, beaten half a length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLONDE SUSPECT (8) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6¾f at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from five starts. Sure to run well. ALPINE BLAST (4) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by a neck over 6¾f at this track. Sound record at this distance with two wins and five minor placings from 10 runs and is one of the prime contenders. COUP DE SPRY (11) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 6¾f at this track, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in ninth. Should do much better.
