Genuine tempo with Star Emblem and Call Me Super battling for early supremacy. BERTINELLI (4) big improver at the second run back when closed off strongly to secure second over 1030m at this track on April 9. Fitter now and gets the tongue-tie on for this. Go close. PLAYIN' THRU (1) lightly raced mare with plenty of ability. Found the line late on resumption when a close-up fourth over 1006m at this track on April 14. Drops a grade today and watch for her charging late. SOLAR POWER (2) returned a much stronger gelding this time in and will be hard fit for this. Came from last on the turn when a narrow second over 1100m at Armidale on April 15. Likely improver with strong prospects. MISS DARTMOUTH (13) finally got off the mark at start seven when a slick maiden winner over 1200m at Casino on April 13. Claim helps again and confidence is high now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,1,2,13.
