Race Tip
MONDO (3) was far from disgraced when third last start over 7f at Hawkesbury, beaten 0.6 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Nicely placed to take this out. MACLEAY (11) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 0.7 lengths over 7f at Moree. Worth following up. WHATADILEMMA (12) finished second last time over 1m at Kembla Grange when resuming from a lay-off, beaten a nose. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a bold race. OENOLOGY (13) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at Tamworth, beaten a long neck. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
