Race Tip

ZOUPRINCE (2) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when 11th over 6½f at Randwick, beaten 7 lengths. Has the talent to figure prominently. ANGARA (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a neck over 6¼f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. POWER OF THE BRAVE (7) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Kembla Grange, beaten 1.75 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. COSY CORNER (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in ninth over 5½f at Wyong. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
