Race Tip

LARADO (1) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Is at the races for the first time since he finished second over 5f at Eagle Farm on September 20. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Will prove tough to beat. TARA'S REWARD (4) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 5f at this track, scoring by 1. 2 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Damien Thornton who was on board last start. Progressing well so worth following up. HANNABANA (7) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 5f. Has the ability to figure prominently. CALL TO COURAGE (9) broke her maiden last start over 5½f at Lismore, scoring by 0. 7 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
