Race Tip

GALLANT SON (4) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 5½f at Sale three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. FIRST SETTLER (2) impressed when successful on debut over 5f at Caulfield three weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. LANDMARK (3) has returned in good order this campaign. Won his maiden when resuming over 5f at Bendigo then finished second over 5f at Caulfield last time. Strips fitter and cannot be discounted. SKIPJACK (6) is back from a lay-off of four months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, scoring in a 5½f contest at Ballarat by 2 lengths. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Among the main hopes.
