Licensed is expected to lead at a slick tempo. Handy race. LICENSED (2) made waves with a dominant debut here last year but was a bit disappointing on resumption here in a small field as favourite over 1300m. No real excuses there but trusting the stable to get him to bounce back quickly. GOLDEN ESTRELLA (6) resumes having gone to the paddock a winner at Geelong at short odds. Profiles nicely for this and will take some beating. CLAYMORE MINE (1) was a strong winner on debut at Mornington and then resumed at listed level at Flemington last time in, outclassed there. Suited here. BONS TO RICHES (3) was a narrow winner at Pakenham when last seen and could go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Licensed to win.
