Race Tip

GRANDE BELLEZZA (8) didn't do a bad job when fifth last start after being prominent at the turn over 5½f at Hawkesbury, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at Gundagai the start prior. Finds a more suitable contest and can return to winning ways. PLEASURIZE (4) was a winner over 5¾f at Leeton last start, making it 3 wins from 5 starts. Rates well and with the claim offsetting the bigger weight is expected to go close again. HELLINDA (10) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 5f at Corowa after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Worth noting Pierre Boudvillain goes aboard. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SUTTON VELLA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Canberra, beaten 3.5 lengths into ninth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
