Race Tip

CRYPTONIC (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 5½f at Hawkesbury. Should be tough to rein in. RARE MOON (9) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track over 4½f, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. OCTAVIAN TREASURE (2) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when she was beaten 3 lengths into seventh over 5f at Scone. Fitter so expect a better run this time. ARE EE QUE (3) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 5f at Goulburn. Ran fifth in a recent trial at Randwick. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
