Race Tip

TRACK TALE (4) resuming from a break after five months and should strip fitter after placing in two trials. Yet to miss the frame fresh. Rates a top hope and should be in the finish. MEDIA EMPIRE (2) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten only 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAIN FOX (5) gave a sight here last time, leading until late before finishing fourth and beaten 2.25 lengths over 6f. Distance specialist with eight wins and 20 minor placings from 42 runs and has to be respected. OUTBACK ACTION (1) finished sixth over 6f87yards at Emerald at his most recent appearance on September 7. Among the better hopes.
