Race Tip

BRUTALINA (5) was not disgraced in city class last time when fourth at Sandown-Hillside but back to home course this time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. TRIAL BY PRESS (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. HERE THE CROWD (6) raced in town last time and missed the frame, finishing fifth at Caulfield Heath and beaten 2. 75 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and is one of the prime contenders. HOT CHIPS (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
