A solid tempo anticipated with All In Vain and Misty Emotions ahead of Fightthegoodfight and Magic Edition. SUPERSET (1) finds the right race to be notching up another win here. He didn't have the best of runs two back at Cranbourne in a tougher race, good last start in this grade at Ballarat when third. This looks very winnable and he should get into a good spot on speed. SMART RETURN (7) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at Horsham. Tough draw but she'll push on again and take catching. MISTY EMOTIONS (13) was okay fresh at Ballarat in the same race as Superset and can improve with fitness. She should run well. CHILLI REAPER (9) is racing consistently without winning this time in and has each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Superset on top.
