Race Tip

MANHOOD (3) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when prominent at the corner before finishing second over 6f at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SUBSTANTIAL (6) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 0.7 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. No reason he cannot salute again. EXOTIQUE MISS (10) started favourite last time over 6f at this track but could only manage third after she was well back on straightening. The extra journey should play into her hands. One of the main contenders. FLYING TRAPEZE (11) was safely held when resuming last start over 6½f in the G3 Silver Eagle at Randwick, finishing 14th and beaten 6 lengths. Will find this much easier. Well placed and not to be discounted.
