Race Tip

HIGHGROVE ROSE (8) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1m at Eagle Farm in a disappointing performance. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. WATERMELON (1) was well fancied last time but could only manage second over 1m2f at Sunshine Coast Poly after being well positioned to strike on the corner. Has won at this distance. Bold showing expected. ARDUOUS (10) is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over 1m1f at Sunshine Coast six days ago. Nice run last time and is among the winning hopes. WEONA REDWOOD (2) lines up on the back of a 2 length sixth over 1m2 1/4f at Doomben. Worth plenty of thought.
