Race Tip

SIR PANAMA (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at Port Augusta over 1m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. ROBERT THE PUSS (3) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 7½f at Gawler. Open to improvement and is among the chances. SACRED CHORD (11) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Bordertown over 6f. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves another chance. CHARTIN (8) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on February 1, finishing tenth over 1m2 1/4f at Strathalbyn. Starts this prep with Taylor Johnstone taking charge. Taylor Johnstone has been in the money at all three rides, but is yet to win. One of the better hopes.
