Race Tip
HIYAAM PROUD (14) finished second when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7½f at Geelong. Expecting a bold showing. OH TOO GOOD (5) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 1.75 lengths when resuming last time out over 7½f at Geelong. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. VALOIS (1) is a last-start winner over the shorter trip of 7f at Horsham, getting home by a nose. Nice weight drop so he is expected to be competitive again. WILLMOTT (10) scored last start at Horsham to make it three wins from three starts this campaign. Should settle handy in the run. Not to be discounted.
