Race Tip

SURPRISE HONEY (8) returns from a short break after a minor placing over 5f at Eagle Farm. Kept ticking over subsequently with a trial win at Doomben. This sets up nicely and she is expected to be in the finish. NOW IS THE HOUR (3) showed early speed from an outside draw last time out and led for much of the way before finding one better at the end of 6f at Gold Coast. Well-placed and should be tough to rein in again. WITHOUT PARALLEL (13) went forward last start over 6f at Eagle Farm and held on well for third, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BALANCE THE BOOKS (14) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten half a length, at Eagle Farm over 5f. Will drift back but wind up late. Will be doing her best work late.
