Race Tip

O'HELLYEAH (12) accounted for a maiden field over 6f at Cowra last start when fresh from a break. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with James Innes Jnr who was on board last start. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. MISSILE MAIDEN (9) found the line strongly last time when third over 6f at Nowra. Looks suited first attempt at this trip and gets chance to show best. STURN WORDS (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 8 lengths when seventh over 7f at Rosehill two weeks ago. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind him. FIRE AND GEMSTONE (6) finished 2.75 lengths back in seventh over 6f at Moruya last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Can sneak into the finish.
