Race Tip

WESTBOUND (6) is rarely out of the money and has three wins to his name. Built on his credentials last start when successful by 2 lengths over 7f at this track. Yet to miss the placings at this circuit, including two wins. Will be hard to stop. ODINAKA (1) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m at this track, finishing 1. 75 lengths back in sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SIMPLY THINKIN' (2) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fourth over 1m at this track. Outdashed but got home well and the longer journey looks ideal. Rates highly on best figures. FIFTH ESSENCE (3) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fourth over 1m1f at this track, beaten 1. 5 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
