Think More and Star Blazer to battle for the leading role. FIRST DAY (5) solid staying mare racing in career best form. Continues to raise the bar and adept in all conditions. Gave her all with the 58kg when a fighting second over 2100m here. Meets Due Calzini better at the weights and won two starts back. DUE CALZINI (3) is starting to hit his straps as he chases his third straight victory. Shouldn't have any trouble on a testing track after rounding them up well to salute over 2100m here. Sure to go well again. QUAMBY (4) proven on the quick backup. Down sharply in weight after going under narrowly when fifth over 2000m at Seymour. Can bounce back in this stronger test. SORRY SUNSHINE (6) closed off strongly with the 63kg when a respectable fourth over 1500m at Albury. Looking for this trip now and proven in the going. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,3,4,6.
