Race Tip

ROTAGILLA (12) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2. 25 lengths win over 7½f at Randwick last time. In fine form and worth following up. INQUIRING MINDS (7) finished ninth two runs back at Coonamble then improved last time out to score by 0. 6 lengths after being prominent at the corner over 1m1f at Rosehill. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. KIND WORDS (11) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 0. 6 lengths, over 1m1f at Rosehill. Well-placed and expected to feature again. BARAZIN (9) finished second at Taree two runs back but was less effective last time over 1m in the Little Dance at Randwick, finishing 6 lengths back in 14th. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
