Race Tip

OBSERVER (1) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by half a length last time out over 1m2 1/4f in the G2 Moonee Valley Vase. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. PROVIDENCE (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 1m2 1/4f in the G2 Moonee Valley Vase. Tougher assignment this time but he is expected to run well. O'SHEAMUS (9) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1m2 1/4f at Moonee Valley. Goes up a notch this time but can figure in the finish. OPTIONS (5) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 1m2 1/4f in the G2 Moonee Valley Vase. Harry Coffey who has scored on him three times retains the mount. One of the better hopes.
