Race Tip

SET ME LOOSE (5) hasn't raced since finishing fourth at Caulfield over 5f six-and-a-half weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial win at Geelong Synthetic. Better than last start suggests and looks hard to beat. YUUKI (6) was allowed to drift back from a wide draw last time out then found the line strongly to grab second over 5¼f in the LR Lightning Stakes at Morphettville. Drops back in grade. Leading contender. PRAISE HER (10) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 5½f at Pakenham Synthetic three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with bright prospects again. ALMOST AN ANGEL (12) is a progressive three-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing third over 5¼f in the LR Dequetteville Stakes at Morphettville on March 28. Fitter for recent trials. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Meets easier opposition this time. Well placed and expected to measure up. Among the better hopes.
