Race Tip
FAR TOO HOT (11) is on a quick turnaround after a solid third over 6f at Grenfell nine days ago. Strong run last time and is a definite winning chance. ROCKBARTON ROAD (5) resumed last start over 7f at Nowra and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 4 lengths. Will be tough to hold out again. DASHING ELGEE (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m1/4f at Moruya. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. MISSILE MAIDEN (8) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fifth over 6f at Sapphire Coast, beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
