Race Tip

RHEGION (4) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1. 75 lengths as public elect over 7f at Townsville. Ryan Wiggins scored on him last time and retains the ride. Nicely placed to go back-to-back. MATERIALIST (3) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 5f at Townsville. Fair record at this trip with a win and six placings. All set to run well. ATTENTIVE (7) returned from a lay-off three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into eighth over 4¾f at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. DESERT GRIT (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 1. 4 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Likely to be there at the finish again.
