Race Tip

HARD GRUNT (9) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1m2f at Canberra when he was handy all the way. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. SHARE OUR SECRET (10) raced on speed last time before fading to finish eighth over 1m2f at Canberra. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. SOLAR ORBIT (11) is a five-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when one length away in second over 1m3f at Sapphire Coast. Blinkers are added in a positive move by the stable. I DOUBT IT (14) made progress last start to finish second over 1m at Sapphire Coast. Suitably placed so she can figure again.
