Race Tip
LA GRACIA (11) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 6½f at Dubbo. Outdashed but got home well and appears suited by the longer journey. Will prove hard to hold out. SKEPTICAL (12) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 7f at Bathurst, beaten 1.75 lengths into sixth. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. HINUNE (10) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 7f at Scone, beaten half a length. Taking on a better line-up this time but she cannot be ruled out. NIGHTWALKER (4) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Dubbo, beaten just 1.5 lengths. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
