Race Tip

SECRET INSANITY (9) is racing well. Scored at Turf Paradise (Dirt) in a then finished third, beaten 1. 75 lengths, over 6f in Listed grade at Turf Paradise (Dirt) at the latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago. Winning rider Carlos Montalvo sticks. Likely to feature. INDEPENDENCE RISE (6) was thereabouts last time out when second at Turf Paradise (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 1. 3 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Extra trip a plus one of the main contenders. HACKSAW MOUNTAIN (2) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 11 lengths, over 6f at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. NEED THE PURSE (4) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid when resuming effort. No reason he cannot salute again.
