Race Tip

VIRTUCON (13) wasn't far away on debut last start over 5f122yards at Benalla, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. VILLA ROYALE (12) was having her first run for the Alexander Rae yard last start when she made steady ground to run into third over 5f122yards at Benalla at the first run back from a lay-off. Looks a great chance in this suitable contest. ROCKABOTTLE (3) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 5½f at Colac. Likely improver who is among the better chances. MEGHAN (6) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 6f at Goulburn, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
