Race Tip

FLYING BAT (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Eagle Farm but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1m1/4f at Doomben after being in the firing line on the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LUCONI (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a neck, over 7f at Gold Coast when resuming after a lay-off. Backmarker who keeps coming. Best form puts him right in this. TEWKESBURY (3) finished 11th over 1m4f at Eagle Farm at his most recent appearance on April 18. Looks a strong top-three prospect. BOLSHEVIC ROAD (8) was beaten 3 lengths into seventh over 6¾f at Doomben at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
