Just a moderate tempo without an obvious speed influence. INDIGO STAR (2) was beaten a nose at Canterbury first-up on a heavy track and has been kept on the fresh side. He's trialled since and there's further improvement in store. Has race fitness and JMac is a key jockey booking. The field has thinned out, and that will advantage POISONOUS (3) who's on debuts for James Cummings. He's trialled in town like a good horse in the making and led and won the two most recent. He can give this a shake. STARDEEL (5) resumed here well-supported, beaten 2L. He's has plenty in the tank, but can overrace and that works against him. Parr stays aboard and will take learnings into this. A player. WAR KING (8) debuts for Ciaron Maher and has trialled well. Has an inside barrier and the blinkers on, and also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Indigo Star with the race fitness/experience.
