Race Tip

SPRITZY LASS (6) is back from a lay-off of five months. Closed last prep with a 12th, beaten 11 lengths, over 5½f at Scone. Race sets up well for her. STEREO HEART (2) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 6f at Corowa when second, beaten 4 lengths. Has plenty of upside so she will prove tough to beat. DODGE THE DARK (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Canberra, beaten 4.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. ROCKET LAUNCHER (1) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent appearance over 5f at Jerilderie. Should be about the money.
