Race Tip

MAXIMUM VORTEX (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 3 lengths last time out over 6f at Grafton. Will take advantage of the good draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ZOURATA (7) is returning from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Finished eighth at Caulfield Heath over 5f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Peter Robl. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Beaudesert trial. Likely to play a major role. MASTERPLAN (8) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 5f at Nanango. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Should be involved in the finish. BUGALUGS (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Gold Coast over 6f after being in contention on the turn. Placed to advantage and can make amends.
