Race Tip

TEWKESBURY (1) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 1m2f at Ballarat. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Sure to go well. BADONKIDONK (2) did his best work late to finish third at his latest appearance at Morphettville Parks over 1m3 1/4f. Should enjoy the significant drop in grade. Well placed so expecting a strong run. BANNERTON (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just five wins from 59 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m at Swan Hill, beaten 3 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. BACK ME UP BENNY (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last time then tired over the final stages to finish ninth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1m1 3/4f at Morphettville Parks. Can feature in the finish.
