AU - Illawarra Grange - Race 4

MCADAM (1) has been a revelation since front-running tactics have been adopted. Gapped a BM66 field over 1m at Wagga two back then exceeded that figure when dominant last start on the outer circuit here, also at the mile. Keatings' claim is a big help today. Back in trip but hard to tip against. I AM WILD (4) scored two back at Gosford then got too far back over 1m at the same track last time and struggled to get involved. The blinkers going on should add some spark. Big danger with that significant gear change. Veteran TIP TOP TIMING (2) is in the mix out of the inside stall coming off a five-week freshen-up. DIAMOND MODEL (3) did a good job first-up at Newcastle and will appreciate a bit more ground this time.
