Race Tip

GANGSTER GRANNY (7) has been a regular contender over course and distance this summer with two wins and a second to her name. Landed a novice event by 5. 5L last time. Of obvious interest again despite a more competitive scenario. JOYA DEL MAR (8) has also enjoyed two victories tackling the track and trip combination this year. Finished 3L third latest. Creeping up the ratings but a key player nonetheless. POETIC TWIST (6) remains unexposed after only four attempts jumping and has yet to miss the first two home. Looks a threat. THEFLYINGBEE (4) reached the placings on all three outings this season. Each way claims again.
