Race Tip

SLIPPIN' JIMMY (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten a nose, over 6¾f at Doomben. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. Set Weights IFT CHARM (3) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at Rosehill. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SINGLE TOUCH (4) showed good early speed from the inside draw when resuming last start before finishing third over 5f at Sunshine Coast. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is one of the primary contenders. SPARKINGLY (13) finished second two runs back at Parkes then improved last time out to score by a long neck as public elect over 4½f at Scone. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
