Race Tip

SMART ACTION (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten one length when fifth over 1m1/4f at Doomben two-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. TAJAWAL (3) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Declan Maher barn. Most recently finished in the placings at Tamworth before going for a break. Ran fourth in a trial at Beaudesert over 5¼f and goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing three times from five runs. Leading player expected to feature. BOVIDAE (7) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0. 7 lengths over 1m1/4f at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. MARENARO (5) will find this a little easier after missing the frame in town last time, finishing eighth over 1m2 1/4f at Doomben. Corey Bayliss is back aboard and is unbeaten from three rides on this five-year-old. Best figures stack up.
