Race Tip

SMART AS SMART (6) was only a nose from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1m1/4f at Doomben. Will be fitter for that run, expected to go close again. THE IRISH (7) was a narrow winner last time over 1m at Sunshine Coast with this rider Michael Rodd aboard. Down in the weights this time so another bold showing is expected. RATTLE AND HUM (1) finished eighth over 1m4f at Rosehill at his most recent appearance on January 17. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. CONTINGENCY (11) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 1m1/2f at Ipswich, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Must be respected.
