Race Tip

SPIRITED DEFENCE (1) scored when resuming at this track then finished 4. 5 lengths away in fourth over 6f at Pakenham Synthetic. Improvement in store so he is sure to feature in the finish. MISS MAHJONG (6) looks close to a win, the latest effort a strong second, beaten 2 lengths, over 6f at this track. Has a superb record here at the journey with two wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. A bold showing is likely. CHARMING NIC (4) last appeared on August 17 when a good fifth over 5f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Worth plenty of thought. SHAALUTE (3) finished third last start over 6f at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
