Race Tip

GIN RUMMY (4) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 6f at Murray Bridge. Sure to be putting in the big strides late again. SAXON BLOOD (5) debuted two weeks ago when he finished sixth over 6½f at Warrnambool, beaten 5 lengths. Improvement to come and the addition of blinkers is a positive sign. DARTBOARD (1) has switched yards since finishing second seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m1/2f at Katherine. One of the genuine hopes in the race. LOVE YOU BELLE (2) was beaten 8 lengths into third at Murray Bridge two starts ago then finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at Strathalbyn. Will drift back but wind up late. Can sneak into the finish.
