Race Tip

ROCK HARD LOVE (5) turned in a eye-catching run over 1m1f at Eagle Farm last start when he got back but wound up hard to finish a close second. Look for another barnstorming finish. BENGAL BOY (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. DIANA'S AFFAIR (8) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1. 2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m1f at Eagle Farm. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0. 8 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1f at Eagle Farm. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
