Race Tip

THE STARS (8) started at 11/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths at Warwick Farm over 5½f. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. FLORAL LEGEND (5) has not appeared since she finished fourth over 7½f at Kembla Grange on March 4. Now under the care of new trainer Anthony & Sam Freedman. Sure to make her presence felt. CALIFORNIA COMMAND (1) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 5½f at Gosford. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. SATIN SPARKLE (7) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at Scone, beaten just 1.75 lengths. No surprise to see her in contention.
