Race Tip

BROWN SUGAR (7) resumed three weeks ago over 5½f at Canterbury and was only beaten one length into fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to find some form. CRYPTONIC (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in second over 6f at Illawarra Grange. Leading player again. GRINZINGER POD (4) built on a nice third when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Gosford with a win over 6f at Gosford two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a head. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BETTER LATE (6) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 6f at Gosford when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0. 7 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
