Race Tip

BALMIERRO (3) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 2. 5 lengths over 1m3f at Scone. Leading hope again. MIMESSI (6) finished eighth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1. 75 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1m2 1/2f at Tamworth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. THUNDERING FALCON (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m3f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. VALENTINE JOHN (1) will find this easier than last start when 11th over 1m3 3/4f in the LR Grafton Cup at this track, that effort coming on the back of a minor placing in a at Goulburn. Can figure in the finish.
