Race Tip

SERENE NIC (2) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Gosford but couldn't back it up last start when seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 6½f at Warwick Farm. Faces an easier assignment so she can find the winners' list. LOUNERSE (1) scored last start over this distance at this track making a total of 5 career wins out of 15 runs. Bigger weight even after the claim but rates a top hope again. ALLEGRO MISS (8) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by one length over 6½f at this track last time out. Watch for her running on late again. PESCHIERA (7) broke her maiden last start over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
