Race Tip

AUZSTAR (9) fought on for third last start over 7f at Tamworth, making it two minor placings in a row. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. COMMANDING ARTIST (5) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when third over 1m1 1/4f at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. STEALTHFIRE (8) finished fifth last time out over 7½f at Hawkesbury, beaten 3 lengths. Deserves serious consideration. ELEVEN X (3) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 7f in the LR South Pacific Classic at Randwick, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in ninth. Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight.
