Race Tip

CIFONELLI (4) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 1. 75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at Orange five weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Tackling tougher opposition but a bold showing is expected. DARN DEADLY (5) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by a nose over 7f at Taree last time out. Worth following up. CHESTIME (7) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when third over 6¼f at Taree. Will find this a little tougher but shapes as one to consider. FAST BLUE (9) ran a better race last start, finishing 3 lengths away in fifth over 6¼f at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
