Race Tip

BOLD STRIKE (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 4. 5 lengths away in sixth over 7½f at Caulfield Heath. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. FINANCE SHOGUN (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 7¼f at Kilmore, getting home by 1. 5 lengths. Winning rider Olivia East retains the mount. Steps up a level but he is good enough to score again. RYANMAN (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 7f64yards at Kyneton. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. MISS TRUSTFUL (5) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 7¼f at Kilmore, beaten 1. 5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid prospects.
