Race Tip

BELIEVE SO (5) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1m at Tamworth when he was always up in the leading division. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ROTHROCK (7) finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7f at Newcastle after being in the firing line on the bend eight days ago. Steps up in distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. BAGLIONI (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Kempsey over 1m1 1/2f. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. XTRA APPROVAL (2) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 1.75 lengths over 7¼f at Kempsey. Solid top-three chance.
