GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Silk Needle and Par leading the charge. SILK NEEDLE (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a win over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Won't mind the extra ground so she looks the testing material. AT THE HOP (12) is racing with great purpose and has three wins on end, most recently getting the prize by 1.5 lengths over 1700m here. Will be handy despite the tricky draw and is sure to prove tough to beat. IDOL EYES (7) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 1500m at this venue when she was always up in the leading division. The extra journey should play into her hands and can win this without surprising. GLOBE FAME (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in fifth over 1500m at this course. Better than that and no surprise to see her hit the frame.

Second-up favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track May 20 over 1500m defeating Schiuma Palla carrying 55kg at $2.10. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1700m.
