Race Tip

ALMIGHTY JAB (3) is racing well, scoring in a at Townsville before finishing a neck from the winner in second last time over 5f at Townsville. Leading contender. VALENKI (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2. 75 lengths when fifth in a 6f contest at Townsville two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. INCHING CLOSER (7) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 4½f at Innisfail, beaten 7 lengths into ninth. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. NEW HAMPSHIRE (9) was safely held and never threatened last time when 13th at Townsville but gets some weight relief. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on two occasions from six starts. Solid claims on best form.
