Race Tip

HOW MUCH BETTER (2) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 6f87yards at Muswellbrook last time out. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. Bold showing expected. FIFTYFIVECHEVY (1) was below his best last time when sixth over 1m at Warwick Farm, beaten 4 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. WAEREA (3) got off the mark when resuming from a lay-off over 7f at Kembla Grange last start, scoring by a head. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Tyler Schiller who was on board last start. Harder this time but still one to consider. COSMIC AVENGER (6) registered his first win last start over 6½f at Hawkesbury, getting home by half a length. Re-unites with Tommy Berry who was on board last start. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated.
