Moderate tempo with Harlem Tickle leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. PEARLER (8) had a tough run at Gosford first-up and will be better for that outing. She raced well in stronger Maidens, and the step up to 1460m suits. Maps well today and will be hard to beat. AQUILINO (5) brings two placed efforts from the track/trip, and Heywood is reunited. Draws the outside barrier and will likely push forward. Gets his chance. SOLICITING (9) switched from the Waller barn and didn't finish it off at Wagga, despite solid support. The well-bred filly will be better for that and can feature on home turf. DELAGO SERG (1) resumes at home and deserves consideration. He's raced well enough in stronger races, and it won't surprise if he's wound up for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pearler appeals most.
