Genuine tempo with Rising Fame leading the way. CASSANDRA (8) overcame a slow start on debut at Pinjarra to win as expected when storming home late to get in the final strides, scoring by half a length in the end. An extra 100m will suit her, and with that experience sure to have improved her, she can win again. RISING FAME (9) has not quite rounded off her last couple of starts on soft tracks here, and a firmer surface should see her bounce back into some good form. PERFUME PRINCESS (11) ran on late for fourth in a much better performance here 3 weeks ago over 1200m. She tries 1400m for the first time and should not be underestimated. HOT CHIX LANE (5) is a promising filly who put it all together to score by half a length here 2 weeks ago. She cops a tougher draw this time, but she can continue to progress this season. Include. DIAMOND WARRIOR (3) did not fire here last start when settling back in a tougher grade. His form prior at this level was good, so he is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cassandra can win again.
