Race Tip

MISS CHANEL (8) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 5½f in the Pierro Plate at Randwick following a minor placing in the G3 Widden Stakes at Rosehill over 5½f the run prior. Can break through in this suitable contest. EVICTION NOTICE (4) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a second over 5½f in the G2 Silver Slipper Stakes at Rosehill. Fitter and should be in the finish again. BAR JESTER (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second in the BLACK OPAL PREVIEW at this track over 5f, beaten 0. 6 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Drawn ideally and is a winning hope. LEGASELLI (14) wasn't far away on debut last start over 5½f in the Pierro Plate at Randwick, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Improver worth including.
