Race Tip

ROYAL SCOTCH (17) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing tenth over 1m2 1/2f at Hobart. Can improve sharply. ELEGANTLY WRITTEN (9) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 6f at Hobart. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. GEE GEES ME BOY (10) started at 5/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths at Devonport Synthetic over 1m1/4f after being in contention on the bend. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. WHO CAN IT BE NOW (7) accounted for a maiden field over 7f at Hobart last start, finishing one length ahead of the nearest rival. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
