|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo from Luna Venus leading Bebek Pepper. LUNA VENUS (9) broke through for her maiden win over 920m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Drawn out a bit but she looks certain to measure up again. BEBEK PEPPER (7) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1500m at this track only to fade late and finish fourth. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. TWO M ATHLETE (5) was well fancied last start over 1500m at this track when third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. QUARTZ TESORO (8) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start over 920m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
