Race Tip

EL JAMES (1) scored by one length last start at Warrnambool over 1m3 3/4f after he was prominent at the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from four starts. Will find this a little easier than last time. Should be in the finish. FLYING BASIL (2) led into the straight last start over 1m1/2f at Warrnambool in the wet but could not sustain the pressure and finished 11th. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. INHERENTLY (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Caulfield Heath two starts back then got the job done by one length last time out over 1m2f at Warrnambool. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MERCURIAL BOY (4) scored in a at Kerang but was below his best last time when eighth over 1m at Donald. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
