Race Tip

SIR MAURICE (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a long neck away in second after he gave away a big start over 6f at Sunshine Coast. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. MELDUBIOUS (3) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Eagle Farm, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. POSEIDON'S SON (1) scored last start at Lismore to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Takes on a tougher assignment this time but should be competitive. EXPRESS BARBIE (9) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 1. 2 lengths back in third over 5¼f at Gold Coast Poly. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
