Race Tip

NEW YORK LUSTRE (6) returns after a lay-off of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at Caulfield. Has ability and should be right in the finish. NIANCE (4) resumes after finishing in the money over 5½f in the G2 Schillaci Stakes at Caulfield on October 11, adding to her solid overall record. Fitter for a trial win at Pakenham. Has a great record when fresh from a lay-off with four wins from five runs so she is among the leading chances. WATCHME WIN (2) is a handy five-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished a neck away in second over 5½f in the G3 RN Irwin Stakes at this track. Leading player. Finds a nice race and can play a big role again.
