Race Tip

ROYAL EXILE (8) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on February 7 and finished eighth behind Fireball over 5½f in the LR Inglis Millennium at Randwick. Can feature in this easier company. FEARLESS WIN (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found a couple better over 5f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 2 lengths. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. SLIPPIN' AWAY (9) broke through for his maiden win over 5f at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is a solid top-three hope. AIRBORNE AFFAIR (2) hasn't raced since a win at Rockhampton over 5¼f six weeks ago. Ticking over well with a subsequent trial win at Deagon. Worth consideration.
