Race Tip

GOLDEN OCTAVIAN (1) was safely held when fourth last time out over 7f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at Townsville at the previous outing. The engagement of Ryan Wiggins is a positive move. Likely improver with strong prospects. SUPERSTITIONS (4) showed little early speed from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly to score a 1.5 lengths win over 6¼f at this track. Winning rider Nathan Thomas stays aboard. Should be in the finish. INNOVATES (7) finished third last time over 6½f at Townsville, beaten a long neck. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. HE GOES BOOM (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Townsville, beaten 2 lengths into eighth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
