Race Tip

CLOSE ENCOUNTER (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth in a 6½f contest at Rosehill three weeks ago. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. DIVINE BENE (6) led to the turn over 7f at Warwick Farm last time out but faded to finish seventh. Will appreciate a drop in grade. Leading contender. RIVER PAT (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Wyong, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. THUNDERING SOUL (2) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish sixth over 5½f at Gosford. Among the chances and will be tough to stop.
