Race Tip
NIC'S CHOICE (5) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 7f at Cranbourne. Well placed and should be in the finish. SAXON BEACH (6) returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 7f at Ballarat Synthetic. Has ability and is worth including. WIND BLAST (8) is a three-year-old gelding on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Vadamos from Penny Whistle. Has not trialled prior to coming here. Promising type who can feature in the finish. MACHA (13) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 7½f at Sandown-Hillside. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through.
