Race Tip

CLOSER TO FREE (2) was well held in the Golden Slipper won by Guest House over 6f at Rosehill at his last appearance five months ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. HARD KICK (3) has been kept fresh since finishing sixth over 5f at Flemington. Kept up to the mark with a recent Flemington trial win. Comes here with definite winning claims. BIG WIGS (4) has not raced since he scored over 6f at this track on March 14. Looks ready to run a big race following two recent trials. Must be respected. CONFEDERATION (7) resumes from a lay-off of six months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 5½f in the G2 Silver Slipper Stakes at Rosehill. Tuned up with a fifth in a recent trial at Flemington. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
