Race Tip

THRILLING VENTURE (8) sat on the pace before tiring to be beaten 1. 5 lengths into fourth when resuming over 5f at Gosford last time out. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Expecting a bold showing. PRINCESS CRUIZER (5) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when prominent at the corner before finishing third over 6¼f at this track, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WELCOME GYPSY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Wyong, beaten 3. 5 lengths into eighth. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Nicely placed to take this out. ZOOM OUTCOME (6) finished ninth over 5f at Coffs Harbour at his most recent appearance on August 1. Among the better hopes.
