Race Tip

AVEBURY (15) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in seventh place when resuming over 6¼f last start at Canterbury. Has never missed the frame second up. Ready to find best form. PACIFIC RUBY (14) comes here off a break of nine months. Scored over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside to launch the last campaign. Lines up. For the first time for trainer ciaron maher. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MIDNIGHT IN TOKYO (8) Group 3 placegetter. Was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 6f at Sunshine Coast when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims. WATEGOS (3) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage seventh over 6f in the LR Takeover Target (Pacesetter) Stakes at Newcastle. Can improve and is worth including.
