Race Tip

EMBRACE THE WIND (5) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up his rivals to score by 2. 5 lengths over 5¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Sure to be tough to stop again. WATSON (4) had a bit on his rivals when resuming last time out, scoring an impressive 2. 75 lengths maiden win over 6½f at Kembla Grange. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Zac Wadick was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Serious contender again with the confidence high. ASILAH (8) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle) two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. FIRE 'N' STONE (10) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fourth over 6½f at Kembla Grange, beaten 2. 2. 5 lengths. Worth another chance.
