Race Tip

FREE AND FAST (6) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1m1 1/4f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Kembla Grange the run before. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. CANJUSTIFY (9) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 7½f at Goulburn, beaten 3. 5 lengths into fifth. Taking on a better field but she is capable of playing a big role. EXPLICIT (5) Has the ability to return to form. ALMANZAS (1).
