Race Tip
FLYING ON A LIMB (9) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Caulfield Heath but couldn't back it up last start when eighth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 5½f at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. EMPRESSIVE ENUFF (7) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when 12th and beaten 5.5 lengths over 6f at Mornington. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back. Group 2 placegetter DIRECT (1) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when third, beaten 0.9 lengths, in the LR Hills Railway (Oakbank) Stakes over 5½f. Expected to run well again. MASTER MONTARO (6) ran below expectations last start, finishing 11th and beaten 5 lengths at Sandown-Hillside over 7f. Finds a nice race and can atone.
