Genuine tempo with Be Quiet leading the way. Tough race to end the day. FANGELA (1) grand old campaigner racing in a rich vein of form. Sharp winner at Canberra two back, before coming to town with a game third over 1100m at Warwick Farm in BM72 grade. Holding form well and can finish over the top of these with Prag's claim. ZARAGOZA (3) stalked the good speed and justified the favouritism when pulling out plenty to get up in a tight finish over this track and trip. Has further improvement to come and can keep the winning momentum going. BE QUIET (11) disappointed in two runs back in city grade and the blinkers come off for this. Gets some nice weight relief here and worth noting her lone victory came over this track and trip. SCISSOR ME TIMBERS (6) revelled in the heavy (9) going first up when a dominant winner over 1000m at Goulburn. Clearly come back well and can be competitive again in this tougher contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,3,11,6.
