Race Tip

HOT CHATTER (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 27 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 6f32yards at Albany, beaten 3.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. DUKE OF WELLINGTON (2) last raced when successful by half a length over 6f at Bunbury nine weeks ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. KIA ORA TATOU (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 0.7 lengths, over 5f at this track. Will strip fitter and looks a clear threat. OSCAR CHARLIE (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Ascot, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
