Moderate pace from Are You Joking taking it up with Fenerbache and Scatman on his back. MAGIC PHAROAH (7) indicated a win was imminent when she wound up strongly to finish a narrow third over 1700m at Scone on June 11. Look for her powering late. ARE YOU JOKING (2) looked good when winning here two back before disappointing at the latest when seventh over 1700m at Scone on June 11. Gets the right run again and sharp improvement is anticipated. BORROWED LUCK (4) thereabouts of late and will appreciate the low draw. Never a hope from the wide gate when a plugging fourth over 1450m at Muswellbrook on June 17. Can figure in the placings. STRELITZIA (3) at her top now and returned to form with a sound second over 1600m at Moree on June 4. Best form is over this track and trip and look for her late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,2,4,3.
