Race Tip

FULL METAL JACKET (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when 11th, beaten 4 lengths, over 7½f at Rosehill. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. WANDJAD (7) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Taree. Not as effective last time out when fifth over 1m at Taree, beaten 3 lengths. Must raise the bar but a better run will not surprise. ALCABEEL (3) battled away fairly last time when third over 7½f at this track. Having first try over the journey and rates a winning chance. CARING LASS (14) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 23 when beaten 4 lengths into seventh at Goulburn over 1m after she gave away a big start. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
