Race Tip

ZERKHAN (4) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the bend at Randwick Kensington, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths starting at 7/1. Has the class to find the winners' list. SO SLEEK (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1m1 1/2f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. MONTGOMERY (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Wyong. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 1m2 1/2f at Gosford, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SPECIAL DAY (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 16 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at Gosford over 1m2 1/2f. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
