Race Tip

UNDER THE LIMIT (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 6f at Bowen. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Has a decent record at this track. Expected to be in the finish. STICK TO YOUR GUNS (2) finished seventh two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 6½f at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. STRATHCONA (5) is racing in great heart and has two wins on end, most recently getting home by 1.4 lengths over 7½f at Cairns. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and has winning claims on best figures. HYDE PARK (10) was a dominant winner last time over 7f76yards at Bowen, drifting well back but unleashing late to run away with a 4 length win. In form and worth including.
