Solid tempo with Tennessee Lights possessing enough dash to find the front. BEGONIA (4) resumes after finishing runner up over 1100m at Stawell six-and-a-half months ago. She's trialled well enough leading in and her natural upside should take her a long way here, go close from the inside gate. BOHEMIAN STAR (1) has raced twice to date, unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten a long neck. Good chance to break through with further progression. FILIGREE SHADOW (6) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth. Coming along okay and just needs some early luck from the gate. TENNESSEE LIGHTS (10) ran a better race last start at her second trip to the races, finishing fourth over 1000m at this track. She'll be up on speed and hard to run down. SUGGESTED PLAY: Begonia to win.
