---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting Tiger Tie to take up the running with Surprise Honey and Spiritual Song close at hand. TIGER TIE (2) has been racing consistently this time in work with the only failure coming in the rich Darby McCarthy three back. Gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim and will be rock-hard fit for this. Rates the testing material. SURPRISE HONEY (4) has placed two from two around this circuit and gets the deadly Gollan/Lang combination. Top-three commodity. Former Victorian FRAGILE LOVE (6) is having her first run for the Dunn camp but should find this easier than what she contested down south. Keep very safe. SPIRITUAL SONG (10) is resuming from a spell. Sharpened with a trial win at Doomben. Opened last campaign with a win at this track over 1000m. Best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,4,6,10.
