Race Tip

SMOKIN JOE (3) is a talented gelding who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1m1/2f at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Expected to go close in an easier race. BUMPKIN (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 6f at Belterra Park (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ILIKETHAT (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 6f, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Has a fine record here with four wins from nine starts. Sure to be competitive. RED HEAD KID (2) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2. 25 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
