---|---|---|---|---|
Good pace from Red Hot Nicc and Starlight Scope. STARLIGHT SCOPE (12) was big odds on resumption in the Listed Hareeba Stakes at Mornington but ran very well for a narrow fourth. Looks nicely placed back to benchmark grade here and the stable have been hitting the mark with similar types in recent times. Think they can do so again. PRANCING SPIRIT (16) has been around the mark in two runs back and should be ready to fire here from the soft draw. BELLINGER (15) struggles to win but is going well and should be in the finish again. END ASSEMBLY (14) can improve off a modest first up run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prancing Spirit can bring it home.
