Solid tempo with Royal Lass leading from Hot Chips and Dollar Shot. Race is probably deeper than it looks at first glance. DELICATE LADY (5) resumed in town and was solid then just missed at Caulfield Heath last time. Fitter, returns to home circuit and loves the soft tracks. Gets chance. DOLLAR SHOT (2) resumed from a long break with a ninth at Pakenham but the run was much better than it looks. Was deep without cover throughout and not surprise to tire late. Beaten only three lengths but fitter and drops in weight for this. Can improve sharply. ELECTRIC STAR (6) is hard to knock winning last two in easier but returns home and is one of the better chances. ROYAL LASS (1) strips a lot fitter and will find this much easier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Delicate Lady looks ready.
