Race Tip

GRINZINGER CHAMP (11) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 0. 7 lengths over 6f at Doomben as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Sure to go well again. MELDUBIOUS (13) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Eagle Farm with a win over 7f at Eagle Farm two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1. 1 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. CARRAVILLA (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 6¾f at Doomben. Cherry-ripe now and is a key runner. LITTLE BEGINNINGS (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 6½f at Randwick Kensington after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
