The speedy Voldemort should find the front with Bie'res and Gentle Prince on his heels. AVENUE OF STARS (1) hasn't been too far away in two outings since scoring a win over 1540m at Gold Coast Poly. Draws well so can make an impact again. BIE'RES (8) was beaten only 0.6L last time to follow a string of wins and placings. Must respect that consistency. GENTLE PRINCE (5) has claims off a narrow defeat by a head two starts back at Ipswich. COSMIC GOSSIP (2) was a handy winner two back at Ipswich but failed to follow it up at the latest. Capable of a much better performance in what's an easier assignment. SUGGESTED PLAY: Avenue Of Stars the one to beat.
