Race Tip

PLAYFUL AS (11) is a three-start maiden who was in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third at the latest appearance over 6½f at Cranbourne. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Leading contender. WARREGO (7) could only manage sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f27yards at Kyneton, beaten only 1. 3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. SPIKE ALMIGHTY (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when third over 5½f at Naracoorte. Well placed out to a longer trip now. Fitter and among the main hopes. WAVELETS (14) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0. 6 lengths adrift in third over 6½f at Stawell. Backmarker who keeps coming. Solid claims on best form.
