Cracking early tempo with Hidden Melody leading the way. ADALIE (4) was solid on resumption and better again beaten 1.9L in a 68 at Eagle Farm. Has a 3kg claim in easier and will keep improving for the sharp yard. Runs along and goes on top. HIDDEN MELODY (9) resumes and is up to this if presented forward. She's trialled well and the 3kg claim is handy. BATTLE OF VIENNA (2) brings the best peak figures, and he will be better for the first-up run for the new barn. The wide gate is a niggle but he's fast and should manage. APOLLO TEN (11) belted the Maidens by 5L at Dalby and it was deserved. Peaks now and will give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Adalie.
