Strong tempo from Singing Star, Champagne Tonight and Catchy Tunes. Singing Star, Champagne Tonight and Catchy Tunes can set a strong tempo. CAPITAL DANCER (3) has been mixing her form. Best recent effort was three back when she just missed in a Class 1 over 900m at this track in soft ground. Looks well placed to return to form. EDGE OF MIDNIGHT (4) chimed in late but missed by a lip when resuming over this course and distance on 14 July. Yet to be beaten in two second-up runs, although they were on good tracks. Sure to give a great sight. Lightly raced filly CHAMPAGNE TONIGHT (7) stormed home late but just ran out of time over 950m at Moree recently when second-up from a spell. Perfectly drawn and still has room for further improvement. ECHELON (6) had a seven-week break and was lining up for Brett Cavanough for the first time when successful in a Muswellbrook maiden last time. Sure to kick on and handle this better grade. MANAGE THE CYCLE (1) came from last to salute here at this trip last start. Handles the going and is one to watch for if they can run on in these conditions. SUGGESTED PLAY: Capital Dancer each-way.
