Moderate tempo with Celestial Fox leading the way. CELESTIAL FOX (3) is resuming at an easier level for top local trainer Peter Fernie and she has been tuned up with a trial over 400 metres at Lark earlier in the month. She has a good gate and is capable of winning this fresh up. SHE'S A MACHINE (6) will be peaking third up and has switched to a local stable since her last run at Belmont just over a fortnight ago. She gets her chance to get her campaign back on track here. Follow any market moves. BETTER THAN EPIC (2) made up plenty of ground at Esperance when resuming and will only improve with further racing. A 2-kilo claim will help him and he won't be long in winning another race. BELLE'S FANTASY (5) found the frame for the first time this campaign when third at Esperance a fortnight ago. She is like many in this race who are battling to win another race and from a decent gate, she can figure in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Celestial Fox each-way.
