SOCRATES SMILED (2) had the drop on the pace early but forged to the lead on the bend and drew clear to score (29.88) at this track in a HCP over 491m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. One of the key runners again. BARNORA KATE (5) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a scorching early sectional but finishing in the minors again over 491m at this track, clocking 30.31. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can feature again. FERRYFORTH BLUEY (3) showed blistering pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 491m this track in 30.32. Expected to give a good account. HARLEQUIN FLICK (1) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.
