Race Tip

EASIEST CHOICE (2) was prominent in running on debut six-and-a-half months ago and battled on well for third over 6f at this track. Has not been produced since. Fitter for a trial win at Warwick Farm. Sure to have improved over the break and should be in the finish again. DIVINE TIMING (6) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Kembla Grange over 6½f. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. THE IRON STAR (4) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 7½f at Hawkesbury. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Goulburn over 6½f. Ran fifth in a recent trial at Hawkesbury. Strong winning chance on best figures. TENDI (7) worked home well and finished second last time over 5¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle), beaten 2. 5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Should be about the money.
