Strong pace from Cassiel and Kimberley Secrets matching motors with Fine Vintage close at hand. KIMBERLEY SECRETS (3) added to her run of minor placings when beaten under a length over this distance at Wyong (metro) last time out. Down in grade and looks nicely treated after Keatings' claim. Won't get too many better chances to break the drought. REMEMBER JACK (11) has been freshened up since a moderate effort over 1200m here five weeks ago. Enjoys getting his toe in the ground so this evening's conditions suit. FINE VINTAGE (1) was brave in defeat over 1250m here last time. The winner of four from nine at this distance so third-up he comes right into calculations. CASSIEL (2) led for home but was weak at the end over 1250m here recently. Far better placed back to 1100m so expect him to be in the firing line for a long way. CATAHOULA (10) resumes. Generally improves with a run under the belt but she is honest and can fill a top four spot in this even contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kimberley Secrets to grab a well-deserved win.
