Good early pressure with Astral Flare or Appraiser likely to take up the running. ASTRAL FLARE (7) is back at the races for the first time since March 16. Scored over 1300m at this track at the start of last prep. Has found a suitable race. APPRAISER (3) bounced back last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BATTLE HOPPER (2) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1500m at Kawasaki. Anticipating a big run again. HIGH TOUCH MADONNA (5) was ninth in a 1400m contest at this track two months ago. Well placed to turn things around fresh.
