Fast pace assured with Real Baker, Fairway To Heaven and Confidentiality leading the charge. HONEY PERFUME (3) win record hardly excites but expect her to go on with it this campaign. Closed late in a fast run contest with a narrow second over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Fitter now second-up and gets her chance to bounce back over the extra trip. FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (4) well-bred filly who registered her first on resumption with a slick on-pace victory over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Berry sticks and likely to be ridden for luck from the outside gate. PERLE DE CHOCOLAT (9) gets a better set-up for this and will appreciate the fast tempo from the good gate. Just over three weeks between runs when snagged back to finish eighth over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Assess on her good earlier efforts. BALMAIN DARLING (7) big drop in grade after she gripped on late to finish fourth over 1100m at Warwick Farm in BM72 class. A repeat effort keeps her in the picture. SUGGESTED PLAY: Honey Perfume is due for a change of luck.
