Race Tip
LIVING FREE (1) returns from a short break after finishing fifth over 1m at Doomben five weeks ago. Kept up to the mark with a recent Gold Coast trial placing. Better than last start suggests and looks hard to beat. PRIDE OF VENUS (16) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on April 12 over 6f when she got home by a nose. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. ASTRA STAR (10) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 6f at this track. Record at this track is strong. Should be involved in the finish. DOUBTING EYE (9) is having his first run since January 8. Goes well when fresh with two wins and three placings from seven starts. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Rockhampton trial. Can make his presence felt while fresh.
