A pedestrian gallop without a recognised on-pacer engaged. TWILIGHT TALE (2) has built a good fitness base and now steps up in trip where she performed strongly in her 3YO season. She was strong at Listed level in the Natasha and sound in the Oaks following, and getting back to this trip looks perfect for her. Can sit closer than she has done this time in and return to winning ways. KEGGS LATER (4) may be able to sit closer than we've seen in recent efforts. He's been flying late in the race, just missing by 0.9L here most recently, he's just been left with too much to do. This sets up well for him however and he can land the knockout blow. ARGYLE STAR (6) made it three in a row when winning by 1.3L at Kalgoorlie 28 days ago and she's trialled well since that effort. Parnham hops back in the saddle today and she shouldn't be too far off the speed. Can keep the winning streak alive. AGE OF GRACE (9) can bounce back as she rises in grade for Pike. MYSTICAL MAN (8) drops right back in grade today and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Twilight Tale looks the one to beat.
