Race Tip

HURRICANE THUNDER (8) fought on for third last start over 6f at Cloncurry, making it two minor placings in a row. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. VICTORY BAY (5) ran below expectations last time at Tambo over 7f, finishing fourth and beaten 2. 5 lengths. Record at this track is strong. Right in this. ENTREPRENEURIAL (6) ran below expectations last time at Nanango, finishing 11th and beaten 14 lengths starting at 7/2. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FINE SHOT (7) finished third last start over 6f at Bowen when he made late ground, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
