Race Tip

SHOTARO (9) could only manage seventh on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Pakenham, beaten 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. COLIZZI (5) was in the money again last time out over 1m3f in the LR Tasmanian Derby at Hobart, finishing second against better opposition than this. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. ROYAL OPTIMISM (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Yarra Valley over 1m1 3/4f. Blinkers are added in a positive move by the stable. PRINCESS PAINTON (12) is closing in on a win after two consecutive minor placings, the latest when second over 1m1 1/2f at Kyneton. Strong winning chance.
