Just a small field but Star Magnum, Bel's Banner and Supremo can ensure the pace is genuine. SPACESHIP (3) showed plenty of promise when trained in Queensland and delivered as expected fresh up in his first start for local trainer Gary Clarke who has a wonderful record with similar imports. He bolted home by 5 lengths that day and with 2 kilos less to carry this time, he should be too good again, despite the class rise. BEL'S BANNER (2) is a stablemate of the top pick who has raced her way back into her best form again and is chasing down a hat-trick of wins after a length win here just over 3 weeks ago in the same grade. Stick with her. STAR MAGNUM (1) is a very honest performer at this level and normally comes to hand quickly. The small field will help him and he can threaten the top 2 picks with the right run. SUPREMO (5) bounced back into winning form last start with a game victory over a mile on this track just over 2 weeks ago. The drop back to a sprint trip is a query but with the aid of the pole position, he can't be totally overlooked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spaceship to win.
