Solid tempo with Firealarm possessing the dash to work to the lead. GIGI FILLE (9) handy mare resuming after a four month break. Raced in stronger company last time in and since fitted with two trials. Down sharply in grade for this and should prove hard to hold out. NAMOI RIVER (2) nice return when found the line late to secure second over 1200m here on February 29. Well drawn and should race closer from the good gate. RAINAGAIN (4) improving with racing and will find this more to his liking after tiring late when fourth over 1300m at Canberra on April 12. Cross-over nose band goes on and can run into the minor money. FIREALARM (10) resuming after a four-and-a-half month break. Stretched out in trip last time in and no surprise to see him sprint well fresh here with the one trial under the belt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gigi Fille to win.
