Race Tip

COLOURS OF AUTUMN (1) built on a nice third when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Townsville with a win as public elect over 7f at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 2. 75 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. INDEFINITE (2) proved too strong two runs ago at Townsville. Not as effective last time out when fifth over 7f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. SAND 'N' POWER (4) finished fourth two runs back at Townsville then improved last time out to score by 0. 7 lengths over 7f76yards at Bowen. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. ECLIPSION (3) showed good speed here last time over 7f until tiring late and finishing sixth, beaten 5. 5 lengths. Not to be underestimated.
