Race Tip

CHOSEN MISS (2) was far from disgraced when sixth last start over 1m2f at Murray Bridge, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at Balaklava the start prior. Sairyn Fawke gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is a major player. TOORAK BLAZE (4) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on December 18 over 1m3/4f when he got home by 3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. BELMONT AVENUE (6) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the bend at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 1.2 lengths starting at 5/2. The engagement of Alana Livesey is noteworthy. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SUPER VALENTINE (5) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1m3/4f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
