Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sixandahalf looks the one to beat at Gowran Park, with our figures putting her 15 lb better than Miss Fourie and a long way clear of the other two over the 16 furlongs on good ground. That is a decisive margin in a four-runner field, and she only needs to run to her level to take some stopping. Miss Fourie is the most credible danger, while Mo Ghille Mar and Cruisin Susan both look to have a lot to find on our numbers. Sixandahalf is the confident selection.

Cruisin Susan has run over today's trip and on this going before, and she was third four starts back, so a bold show is possible off 161 lb after 30 days off. The main risk is a recent slide, with unplaced efforts in her last two outings and yet to win in her last six.
