Race Tip

FREDDIE (7) was in the money two starts back at Kilcoy but couldn't back it up last time when 13th, beaten 12 lengths, at Ipswich over 1m1/2f after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to turn things around. SINGULAR (8) turned in a modest performance when ninth last start over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. MIO SORRENTO (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 4.5 lengths away in eighth over 7½f at Rockhampton. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLUESTONE LANE (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 3 when beaten 5.5 lengths into ninth at Eagle Farm over 6f. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake.
