Race Tip

EAGLEMONT (4) underrated gelding holding his form well.Had no choice but to be dragged back from stall 19 when a tenacious sixth over 1m in the Little Dance at Randwick on November 7.Ready for this trip now and just needs luck from the draw.Go close.SPITFIRE (10) holding form well this time in and better suited today after finishing eighth in tougher company over 1m1f on November 11.Won and placed this trip and gets weight relief again with the 6.6lb claim.AKASAWA (1) smart gelding with an excellent win record returning from a short break.Never a genuine chance from the wide gate when a plugging 11th over 1m in the Big Dance at Randwick three-and-a-half weeks ago.Since fitted with a recent trial and the 1m2f shouldn't pose a problem.Sat on the speed with the 9st4lb when a tenacious third over 1m1 1/2f at Canterbury on November 7.Handles the sting out of the ground and gets the right run.
