Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Red Aric, Sweet As Scandi and Bel Suono leading the charge. EXTREME EMOTION (5) was third fresh up for new trainer Gary Clarke and then improved again to post an overdue maiden win here just over 3 weeks ago. As so often happens once the penny drops, he should go right on with the job now. On top. MOORESTOWN (1) failed to fire last prep in NSW and has since joined the local Philip Cole stable. He should have no trouble measuring up in this grade and if the change of scenery has helped, he can definitely give this lineup a shake. Watch the markets closely. BEL SUONO (6) is a stablemate of the top pick who finally put it all together fresh up to break through for her first win on this track just over 4 weeks ago. She stays in the same class and only rises a kilo in weight so must be hard to beat again. AWEN (3) was in good form at Alice Springs 3 weeks ago and has since joined the local Philip Cole stable. She has a good draw and should give another good account of herself. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extreme Emotion to win.
