Race Tip

DAKOTA VROOM (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 6¼f at Canterbury, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on current form she is good enough to take this out. GENTLY ROLLED (7) lifted strongly only to just miss when fresh from a lay-off as favourite last start over 6f at Rosehill. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Steps up a level but she is capable of running another bold race. AFTERLIGHT (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Rosehill, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CELESTIAL SPIRIT (8) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 7f at Warwick Farm. Expecting improvement.
