Genuine tempo with Kalmana and More Than Hope up front. EXIT (6) is a progressive Maher filly who looks to be putting it all together now. Her Flemington win last start was smart, and if she holds that level she should be taking care of these. YELLOWJACKET (9) closed off nicely into third when resuming at Caulfield and is sure to have tightened up. Rising to 1400m looks ideal and she shapes as the main danger. ROHESIA (5) knuckled down bravely to arrive just in time at Ballarat. This is tougher, but she’s full of confidence and worth following. LIVE (8) comes through the same race as Yellowjacket, where she simply got too far back. Draws better this time and can improve sharply. TIPTOP TORI (10) lengthened nicely to shed her maiden tag when resuming at headquarters and was well supported late. She’ll likely drift back from the wide alley but can get going late and add value to wider exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exit looks very tough to beat.
