Race Tip

HARDPOINT (5) gave a bold sight at the latest appearance over 1m2f in the G2 Tulloch Stakes at Rosehill but dropped out to finish tenth. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Leading contender. NOVEMBER FALLS (7) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m at Doomben after being prominent at the turn three weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. BLAZERRO (2) finished second last start over 1m1f at Gundagai, beaten 0.7 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. MAGICON (6) ran below his best last start when beaten 4 lengths into fifth from a wide draw over this course and distance. Great chance to bounce back.
