Race Tip

Group 1 placegetter KUROYANAGI (15) resumes after a break of five months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 5½f at Gawler. Fitter for a sixth in a recent trial over 5¼f at Balaklava. Will be tough to beat. Group 3 placegetter ARABIAN SUMMER (14) is a progressive two-year-old filly who resumes from a break of nine weeks, her last appearance being a win over 5¼f at Doomben. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expected to be in the finish. AVIATRESS (8) is a handy type who resumes after a break of 11 weeks. At her last appearance she finished fifth over 6f in the G3 Proud Miss Stakes at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Is yet to beaten when resuming from two starts. Form at this distance is strong with three wins from four starts and is capable of going well. WHISTLEFIELD (5) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 2 lengths to spare over 5f at Caulfield. Is going well this campaign, recording three wins from seven starts. Minor claims.
