Race Tip

EMPRESS OF JAPAN (8) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 7f at Kembla Grange. Can run over the top of them late. STELLAR RHONDA (9) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1m at Gosford. Goes on top again. OFF THE SCALE (11) finished 2. 75 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1m at Taree last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Takes on a tougher assignment this time but can measure up. GENERAL SOHO (1) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 7½f at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 1. 3 lengths at 20/1. Among the fringe chances.
