Race Tip

OUTSIDETHESQUARE (8) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1m at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BERTRAND (4) returns from a lay-off of five months and tackles a synthetic surface for the first time. Opened last prep with second at Stawell over 6½f. Sure to be about the money. PICK WISELY (9) sat on the pace last time and fought on well when a long neck away in second over 7½f at this track. Among the main chances. CLANSMAN (2) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 2. 25 lengths into fourth over 1m at Pakenham Synthetic. No surprise to see him in contention.
