In a race devoid of pace Blarney Stone will be prominent. STARS AND SPANGLES (6) has transferred to the John Rolfe stable since his last run, a poor effort over a staying trip at Moe. Won't find this opposition as tough as the ones he faced in Victoria. Big chance to open the account. The best recent run of TORNADO ANWA (7) was two back when beaten under two lengths over today's trip at Corowa. Winning hope with a repeat of that effort. BLARNEY STONE (3) travelled just off the speed then held his ground without threatening over this distance at Bathurst recently. Finds a far easier maiden today so should give a good account. LOST YA SOCK (5) has been in the money four times, three of them at today's journey. Gets in well with the claim and should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stars And Spangles to win.
