Race Tip

SMART ENERGY (3) returns from a break of nine months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. SUPIDO EXPRESS (7) continued the good recent form when he finished just a head away in second last time out over 6½f at Belmont Park. Has a win and five minor placings at this journey from nine starts and is right in this. MANTUA (1) was sent out favourite last time when fourth over 5f at Bunbury. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Likely to play a major role. ZORBRIST (4) last appeared when seventh over 7f at Bunbury six months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
