Race Tip

Group 3 placegetter HATCHET (2) turned in a strong run last time when he settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only a head into third over 5f at Sunshine Coast. A repeat of the latest effort will see him in the finish again. HELLAVADANCER (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.75 lengths away in third over 7f at Rosehill when she was prominent throughout. The engagement of Andrew Mallyon is noteworthy. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. ROCKRIBBED (4) improved sharply on his tenth two starts back at Rockhampton with success as favourite over 6¾f at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a nose after being prominent at the bend. No reason he cannot salute again. PIZARRO (6) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at this track over 6f. Expecting improvement.
