Race Tip

DAMASCUS GATE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3. 5 lengths when sixth over 7½f at Muswellbrook two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DIANELLA (11) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1. 1 lengths over 6½f at Tuncurry. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Breaks from a wide alley but she cannot be discounted. ARCHIE MAXIMUS (2) had a bit on his rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 3 lengths maiden win over 5f196yards at Grafton. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. KEN'KER (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in tenth over 1m at Taree. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
