Snip Of Romance should lead at a strong tempo. SHARPASSA (4) resumed in top order at Northam with a 0.5L defeat when settling up front from the outset. The wide draw this time around is a niggle, but Pike takes over and she'll be fitter for the fresh effort. Will take plenty of catching with a new peak on the cards. DON'T WINK (2) will be fitter for a couple of trials coming into this where she's trialled around some handy types. O'Donnell's claim comes in handy and the tongue tie goes on for the first time. Wouldn't surprise to see her return with a bang. ARTIE'S ECLIPSE (9) resumes here without a trial but showed enough at the end of last campaign to suggest a win was near. Catarino knows her well and a forward showing is on the cards. SNIP OF ROMANCE (11) can hold the front from an inside barrier and will be in this for a very long way. PENNY PINCHER (6) was too good last time out and can go on with the job. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sharpassa is the one to beat.
