Race Tip

COUPLES RETREAT (4) will find this a little easier than her second on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten a long neck at the end of 5½f at Warwick Farm. Promising type with improvement to come so she will be hard to beat. BALMORAL (1) turned in a solid debut over 5f at Sunshine Coast last start, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.75 lengths. Among the leading chances. TWIRLING (9) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5½f at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. OBSCURE (10) resumes from a lay-off of four months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 5½f at Gosford. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Hawkesbury trial. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
