Race 3 summary - Race lacks depth so hard to be keen. SAINT DENIS racing competitively but needs to kick on and genuine frontrunner in a race without much early speed, looks a moral. ALL ELLIE finished strongly to end up midfield at only start at Tuncurry and drops 0.5kg from last run, for the exotics. THE BIG DREAMER should lead in a race where slow tempo with minimal pressure is expected and drops 1kg from last run, capabable of getting into the money with a bit of luck. STYLISH CHARLENE genuine frontrunner in a race without much early speed and drops in weight, outside hope.
Race 3 tips - 1st: SAINT DENIS (1), 2nd: ALL ELLIE (4), 3rd: THE BIG DREAMER (9), 4th: STYLISH CHARLENE (8).
