Race Tip

CATONAHOTINROOF (2) fresh from a lay-off of 14 months – the last when resuming run was a third at Wyong over 5½f. With a new stable now and tackling a synthetic track for the first time. Top chance with the blinkers applied. } SUMALUV (5) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in second last start over 5½f at Bendigo when returning from a lay-off. Settles back early but winds up late. Best form puts her right in this. GUN CITY (7) is a three-year-old gelding by Armory out of Cape City Flyer on debut for the Tony & Calvin Mcevoy stable. Worth including if well in commission. OCEAN SURGE (9) is a Ocean Park gelding who cost NZD $ 80,000 (NZB 2025 Ready to Run Sale) as a yearling and makes debut. Placed in most recent trial. Profiles well, watch betting but could measure up.
