Race Tip

SACRED BULL (11) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1m2f. Rates highly in this line up and can improve. VERMILION KIRIN (3) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1m4 1/4f at Beaudesert. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HEAVENLY LOVE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2. 75 lengths when eighth in a 1m contest at Eagle Farm a week-and-a-half ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. DREAM THINKER (9) finished second last time over 1m2 1/4f at Gold Coast, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
