Niccimota and Star Supreme possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. STAR SUPREME (7) went around favourite on debut and faded out of contention on the soft track. She's since trialled well at Belmont, running away to win impressively. Parnham sticks with her and she can make a winning return to racing. AMAROO STAR (2) was only fair in his debut campaign, though both runs were on soft tracks. He had trialled well leading into this debut and he has again today. The horse he beat in his latest effort jumped odds-on at Bunbury on Sunday. Can play a major role. PRINCE (3) is a 3yo on debut for Team Pearce and he maps for a lovely run from a good barrier. He hails from a winning family and he'll be right in the finish if he can run up to his trial efforts. NICCIMOTA (5) found one better over this course and distance last start. Connections are looking to ride her quieter which is a niggle from the wide draw. Hard to knock on form though. CONVERSATION POINT (8) can be in the finish following a nice trial coming in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Supreme gets the nod.
