THE DEVILS FLAME (5) did a good job from the back row for second here two back before leading from this barrier to score by 4.4m here last week. Back in distance but has placed in both attempts. Has upside and looks a big chance to go back to back. ASTRAL STRIDE (2) gets her best draw of the campaign so far and did score a fresh win over race rival Hellovatime at Menangle. Big chance. HELLOVATIME (8) made it three successive seconds when he missed by just a head here two back then got the win he deserved last start at Menangle, digging deep to score by a head. Draws on the back line this time but hasn't missed a place at this distance. VESPA STRIDE (7) found winning form here two back and didn't do a bad job when fourth from wider on this row last time out.
