Race Tip

CAPTIVATING STAR (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a lay-off last time out, finishing second and beaten only half a length over 1m at this track (Turf) after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WICKED AS HAGGART (5) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 7 lengths back in second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with winning claims. TURF MONSTER (11) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. BOB'S CHANNEL (3) broke his maiden last start over 1m at this track (Turf) when resuming, scoring by 1. 75 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. D Cannon was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run.
