Race Tip

DAMASCUS CALLING (2) finds it hard to win with just one success from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle), beaten 1. 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. ETOILE FILANTE (1) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 6¼f at Beaumont (Newcastle), finishing third and beaten a neck when he did his best work late. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ALAMAGAN (3) worked home well to grab second at very long odds at his latest appearance at Kembla Grange over 7f. Good signs last time and worth consideration. PLAYFUL PUZZLE (6) went back early from her wide draw over 7f at Kembla Grange last time but hit the line strongly to finish fifth. Sure to be winding up late.
