Race Tip

SPARKLING (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 6½f at Cranbourne. Expected to take some stopping again. NEW HAMPSHIRE (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.4 lengths from the winner in third over 7f at Sale after being in the firing line on the turn. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. SOAR BEYOND (1) was well in commission last start over 6f at Pakenham when fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Will find this tougher but has winning claims. NETO (4) made progress last start to finish third over 7f at Wangaratta. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
