Fast pace assured with Protostar, Quanapirri Bay and Hello Carol leading the charge.
PROTOSTAR (1) has started favourite in all of his 5 starts since moving to this area from NSW and was a winner 3 starts back in a similar field by a head. He was beaten by a wide gate last time out and can put things right from a superior draw this time, especially with the aid of a 3-kilo claim. Follow your money. EASTSIDE DIAMOND (5) was sent for a spell after a mediocre effort here in February. Her form before that was rock-solid and a freshen-up was exactly what she needed. Her only career win has come first up and she will be hard to beat in this. QUANAPIRRI BAY (3) stuck to his task gamely last start and has been thereabouts in all of his runs in this campaign. Another honest effort is likely. DANNY WHIZZBANG (10) is still a maiden and has raced his way into form this prep with a couple of handy placings recently. He is well-placed at the weights with after a 3-kilo claim and should be right in the finish again at a decent each-way price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Protostar to win.
