Race Tip
POISON CHALICE (5) drifted back then made late ground to finish fourth when when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f in the LR The Straight Six at Flemington. Expected to go well. TENZING (7) was a dominant winner last time at Doomben over the same distance. Has never been out of the money over this course and distance from four attempts. Will be hard to stop. SUNSET SOIREE (16) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1m at Doomben. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. HOLLYWOOD HERO (1) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1m at Newcastle. Solid top-three hope.
