So Star showed promise on debut with a solid 3rd at this track over 1300m. The drop back to 1200m should suit, and he draws well in barrier 8. Being by Zoustar suggests he has the quality to improve, and the booking of Michael Dee is a positive. While inexperienced, his debut run at this track gives confidence he can handle the conditions and improve second-up.

Our price $7.00 · SP $15.00 · Logan McNeil

He's placed once from five starts and has been competitive at similar distances. The wide barrier is a concern, but jockey Logan McNeil should be able to find cover midfield. His form has tapered slightly, but he's shown enough ability to be competitive in this field.

Our price $7.50 · SP $11.00 · Brad Rawiller

He's placed once from six starts and has been competitive with three top-four finishes. Brad Rawiller (10% recent strike rate) is a positive jockey booking.

Our price $4.50 · SP $8.00 · Will Gordon

Has placed in both attempts at this distance range and handles soft tracks. Will Gordon is a solid booking and the horse should be right in the finish despite the wider draw. Main danger to the top selection.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.50 · Michael Dee

Zayyano showed promise finishing 4th last start over 1600m and should appreciate the slight drop back in distance to 1429m.

Ready to show significant improvement.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Ryan Hurdle

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.60 · Celine Gaudray

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Lachlan King

Macy Moon brings the strongest class credentials to this race, dropping back from higher grade racing. Has been consistent without winning recently, including a close 2nd two starts back at Wodonga. Lachlan King knows this horse well with a 25% strike rate together. The main query is the 62kg top weight, but the significant class drop compensates. Has the tactical speed to overcome the barrier and should be right in the finish.

Our price $3.80 · SP $5.50 · Beau Mertens
