Race Tip

SHINING SMILE (2) boasts a strong overall strike rate and was a last start winner at Flemington over 5f. Should park just off the speed. Best form puts him right in this. JIMMY RECARD (5) is high on confidence after scoring by a neck over 6f at Flemington last time out. Nice weight drop this time around. Recent figures suggest he will run well. TYCOON STAR (1) is a talented colt who tackled a tougher race at his last run on March 22 and finished tenth behind Marhoona over 6f in the G1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill. Backmarker who keeps coming. One to consider. SONOFKIRK (6) was given a short break after winning over 5f at this track. Kept ticking over since that run with a trial at Mornington. Likely to be thereabouts.
