Race Tip

VIASAIN (3) wasn't disgraced in city class last time when finishing fourth at Caulfield Heath. Meets easier opposition this time. Among the leading chances in this company. WOLF TWENTY ONE (2) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 4. 5 lengths away in seventh over 6½f at this track on December 5. Looks to be back in good order following a recent trial placing. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Rates highly and expected to go well. FIRERATED (5) is back from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 3. 5 lengths, over 6f at Pakenham. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Has solid credentials. CORE CONCEPT (1) returned from a lay-off seven weeks ago when he was beaten 2. 5 lengths into fifth over 4¾f at this track. Fitter so a likely improver.
