Race Tip

GAELIC KIWI (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten half a length, over 1m4f at Geelong. Will be tough to stop again. KOVU (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1m3f at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ATE IRON (1) is a six-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1m2 1/2f at Echuca. Takes on a tougher assignment this time but shapes as one to consider. THE DECEMBRIST (8) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 25 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/4f at Moe. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
