Race Tip

HEROIC MISS (3) showed good early dash and led for much of the way before weakening out of it when 4. 5 lengths away in seventh over 6f at Rockhampton. Has a solid record at this circuit. Likely to feature. BOLSHEVIC ROAD (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6¾f at Doomben, beaten 3 lengths into seventh. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. ROYAL GLADIATOR (9) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6½f at Sunshine Coast, beaten only a nose after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KUNDABUNG (8) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1m1/4f at Doomben, beaten 7 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form.
