Race Tip

BELLA KATHLEEN (9) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 7¼f at Muswellbrook. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. SURREAL I AM (6) won last start over 1m at Sunshine Coast Poly, making it two wins from three appearances this campaign. Looks ready for the longer journey. Huge threat again. GENERAL SOHO (2) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1m1/2f at Scone, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Finds the right race this time and can rediscover winning form. KOSUKE (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m2 1/2f at Gosford. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
