Race Tip

TENZING (1) settled well back from a good draw last time before closing well to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m at Eagle Farm. Watch for him to be charging home again. MADAME ODETTE (10) finished 6 lengths away in tenth last time out over 7f at Eagle Farm when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove hard to hold out. BLAZEN BOOTS (12) is a distance specialist who bounced back last start and landed the prize by a nose after being in the firing line on the bend over 1m1/4f at Doomben. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. EVOCATOR (8) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth in a 1m1f contest at Eagle Farm last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest.
