Race Tip

NICCO THE GREEK (6) was in the money in a at this track then met stiffer opposition last time when fifth over 7f in the LR Tatt's Thomas Lyons Stakes at Hobart, beaten 2.5 lengths. Can do much better in this more suitable race. OLE OLA (10) got well back over 5½f at Hobart last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 5 lengths away in fourth. Has the class to put the recent poor run behind her. SQUARE DONUT (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths into fourth. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SUMMER FIRE (8) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth beaten 2.2.5 lengths over 6f at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should give backers a sight.
