Race Tip

ISTOLEA MERC (13) ran below expectations last time at Eagle Farm, finishing ninth and beaten 5 lengths starting at 13/2. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. BIG RED TEQUILA (12) is a distance specialist who bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0. 8 lengths when she came from a long way back on straightening as favourite over 5½f at Rosehill. The engagement of Sam Clipperton is noteworthy. No reason she cannot salute again. EYE OF THE FIRE (8) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when tenth, beaten 4. 5 lengths, over 6f at Rosehill after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CELUI (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 4 lengths away in eighth over 6f at Rosehill. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
