Race Tip

NATURAL GEM (12) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage eighth last start, beaten 6 lengths over 5½f at Bunbury. Has the addition of blinkers. Strong chance this line-up. SAFEKEEPER (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Belmont Park over 5f last time, finishing ninth and beaten 11 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is sure to be prominent. DONTTHINKJUSTDRINK (10) showed good early speed when resuming last start before fading to finish fifth over 5f at Bunbury. Can give a sight if at her best. CHAMPEZE (6) closed last campaign with four consecutive minor placings and is back. After a break of four months. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Not to be discounted.
