the promising Belle Detelle on the first following an encouraging effort on debut at Seymour. The three-year-old filly by Zed was away cleanly and settled off the speed, improving from midfield to shift out wide into the straight where she ran on strongly to finish a nose second to Seindeel. That form has held up nicely with Seindeel going on to run a place at Flemington in her next start. With a jumpout between starts to keep her sharp, the rise to the mile should be more than suitable with just over a month between runs."}]},{"author_id":"21","race_id":"47cc532d-2ebd-4c7c-bbe7-2adf111f2795","racing_tip":[{"entrants":[{"entrant_id":"a6515b42-8b8c-4bfe-8da0-072efa95f535"}],"summary":"Sirena looks ready to take the next step now for Robbie Griffiths and connections. The filly by Pierata let down with a nice turn of foot to run second on return here over 1000m a few weeks ago, closing the gap on the winner over her final few strides with a decent gap back to the rest. There\u2019s a chance she settles a little closer to the speed this time over 1200m, but from another perfect gate with Jye McNeil retaining the ride, it\u2019s tough to see her being beat with a good chunk of this field on debut."}]},{"author_id":"21","race_id":"e8d1e5cf-75af-432e-badd-ac3a4680cb5c","racing_tip":[{"entrants":[{"entrant_id":"43841fed-045b-47db-9a23-287612200cbd"}],"summary":"Written Bligh probably would have won second-up with even luck. Grahame Begg\u2019s mare was three-wide facing the breeze into the turn, before being pinched between a pair of runners over the final 100m on her way to finishing second. There\u2019s still scope for improvement in her third run back though, while it\u2019s worth noting she\u2019s found the money in all four of her runs over 1200m during her short career."}]},{"author_id":"21","race_id":"5d101bf8-a36f-40e7-a438-7c5523a1d59f","racing_tip":[{"entrants":[{"entrant_id":"e08e869a-cb57-4d57-8cc7-7af6a3b889db"}],"summary":"Cash Converter has been up for a while but continues to hold his form. The gelding by Headwater did a bit wrong over this trip at Cranbourne last start, caught wide after struggling to settle in the run under Rhys McLeod. He was under hard riding out of the turn, but did respond nicely to knuckle down and run second, beaten less than half a length."}]},{"author_id":"21","race_id":"066c54ed-5328-4564-be2d-3a981d9df202","racing_tip":[{"entrants":[{"entrant_id":"9beb6647-df14-48a4-a8a4-787b8d1f1a82"}],"summary":"Retourne was down to race at Mornington on Sunday but was instead scratched in favour of this similar assignment. Danny O\u2019Brien\u2019s galloper was racing in terrific order to begin his prep, cashing a cheque when placing in back to back runs on the Heath track at Caulfield over shorter. By Shamexpress, he had little go his way at The Valley last time out, finishing down the order from a wide gate where he never seemed to handle the tight course."}]},{"author_id":"21","race_id":"ac9eeeca-e37e-4276-865b-e8dc40990698","racing_tip":[{"entrants":[{"entrant_id":"8ac6e540-3a7f-485c-a075-073d29a32506"}],"summary":"Not a bad price on offer for Araletta, who is looking to remain unbeaten this prep for Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman. The Pierro mare overcame a slow start to win only narrowly fresh at Pakenham, before improving several lengths to win comfortably here over the track and distance last start under apprentice Emily Pozman. The pair combine again here from a slightly tricky gate, but likely to land just off the speed with the claim put to good use, there\u2019s nothing to suggest they can\u2019t put paid to their rivals in similar style."}]},{"author_id":"21","race_id":"c3c16e30-12ca-416b-8af8-74873875c67b","racing_tip":[{"entrants":[{"entrant_id":"e4bd8534-2ad8-48d2-91ad-e2a55673000d"}],"summary":"Diamond Firetail is an intriguing runner on return for Godolphin.
