Even tempo with Lennystar rolling forward with the absence of a genuine leader. EVIL LOVER (8) was a determined maiden winner last time out over 1100m at Armidale. Looks well placed and she can go on with it. GLAM (3) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at Ballina with a win over 1260m at Ballina three weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. LENNYSTAR (4) did little when seventh over 1260m at Ballina last start after being in the firing line on the bend, a less impressive effort than her sixth at Kyneton the run before. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DARLING TAKE CARE (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Gold Coast, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. KYOGLE KID (2) deserves another chancier this easier race from the good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Evil Lover gets the right set-up again here.
