Solid tempo anticipated with Amelia's Belief heading them off. TOROPA (8) has been freshened following her 0.8L defeat over this course and distance 35 days ago. This is her toughest test yet, but she is a progressive talent who looks destined for better races. Maps to get every chance and can remain unbeaten. SENTIMENTAL BELLE (2) will make a race of it though following a 0.6L defeat behind Desert Nymph (Race 6) last time out. She rates highly without winning her past couple and she's won on the quick turnaround previously. Appears the main danger. LENIENCY (4) was slowly away and never features in tough conditions here a fortnight ago. Happy to overlook this effort as it sets up nicely for him third-up. Fresh run was superb and he'll go close if he returns to that form. SNIPPY WHICH (7) was no match for a dominant winner last start but has plenty of ratings from last campaign good enough for this. Strips fitter as well. SUNNY HONEY (3) has claims off a solid effort last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Toropa can make it five-from-five.
