Strong pace from Stellar Mofeed, Divine Empress and Hot Chips, with Titahi Bay and Boom Boom Betty on their heels. BOHEMIAN ANGEL (4) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second in BM66 grade last start over 1200m at Caulfield Heath, which followed a nice win at Pakenham. Was second at the two runs prior, so no horse racing as consistently and no reason to suspect she won't feature again after drawing well. NEROLA (3) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win over 1200m here last time. Will go forward and should be in the finish again. TITAHI BAY (8) did her best work late to finish third at big odds at her latest appearance at this track over 1000m. Should park just off the speed and has winning claims on best figures now at peak fitness third-up. HOT CHIPS (1) is struggling to recapture the good form from last campaign, missing the frame at the last few runs, but they've been in stronger races than what she strikes here. DIVINE EMPRESS (6) is an up-and-comer who struck winning form last time and draws ideally. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bohemian Angel to win.
