Race Tip

CHECK SIDE (14) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4. 5 lengths when sixth over 1m at this track two weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MISS DEFY (9) finished sixth two runs back at Canberra then improved last time out to score by 1. 3 lengths over 1m2f at Canberra. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to cope. PARABELLUM (12) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing ninth over 1m2f at Wangaratta most recently. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. PRIDE OF JEZZA (3) has returned in good shape this campaign. Opened with a third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 0. 6 lengths as favourite last time out over 1m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
