Race Tip

HOW MUCH BETTER (4) lines up on the back of a 4. 5 lengths fourth over 7f at Warwick Farm. Sure to prove tough to beat. SMOKE ON THE WATER (7) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 6f at Canterbury. Faces a far less daunting assignment this time. Should be in the finish. KRANICH (1) finished fourth when resuming last start, beaten 1. 2 lengths, over 6f at Tamworth. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. One of the likely contenders. MISS REBEL (6) has failed to figure of late. Two runs ago could only manage seventh over 5½f at Wyong. Most recently she failed to complete the course at Port Macquarie.
