Race Tip

FIRST MASTERPIECE (3) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a long neck over 5½f at this track to make it two in succession. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. BABELICIOUS (9) saluted at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 6f at this track, beaten half a length. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLUE HOLLY (5) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 5½f. Ashton Arries who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Certainly one to consider. GREAT CAT (6) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 6f at this track, finishing sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Can do better than last.
