The Streaker, Zouhoff and Lawfare can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. STAR GLADIATOR (8) is mixing his form but was good last start when chasing gamely into the placings. Draws to get the gun run on the short turnaround and presents the main danger. THE STREAKER (9) has been better in his last two and should give backers another bold sight. POLITICAL PROMISE (7) never looked likely on debut when getting too far back. Willing to give another chance with the booking of Neindorf interesting. Similar story for STREETCAR TENNESSE (4) who got a mile back on debut and never got into the race. Better for the hit-out and is worth following up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Gladiator gets the nod.
