Race Tip

OCEAN PROUD (11) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when in contention on the corner, finishing 1.4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at Ipswich. Has the class to take care of this field. EXPLOSIVE TYCOON (3) raced once in the maiden campaign when well supported but could only manage fourth at Doomben over 6f back on February 14. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. WHAT ARTISTS DO (8) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Eagle Farm over 6f, beaten 4 lengths. Capable of much more this time. WANTCHOO (13) raced once in the maiden campaign when eighth at Doomben over 5½f back on April 13. Top-three chance with that run under her belt.
