SPRING TESS (1) continued her winning form with another strong run after racing on speed to make it two on the bounce, scoring by 2 lengths (23.19) at this track over 401m. The form out of her last race has been franked. The one to beat again. ITCHY'S FLYER (2) showed good speed off a low draw and there throughout but run over late when 7th over 320m at this track in a Grade 5. Likely to be about the money. PALPITATIONS (3) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 320m. Deserves serious consideration again. SPRING FRED (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing in good time.
