Race Tip

TEST BY FIRE (18) returned from a lay-off three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 5½f at Kilmore. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GEFFINA (15) ran another good race last time when third over 6f27yards at Geelong, beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks a solid top-three contender. MANHATTAN LANE (12) settled well back last start and never threatened when 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6f at Great Western. Likely improver with strong prospects. LA SUERTE (17) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Benalla, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
