Plenty of early pace to be established by Iknowastar and Willaidow.
WILLAIDOW (15) has picked up from where he left off last season and has continued his fine run of form, especially for Deanne Panya who doesn't get many opportunities in the city. He drops 3.5 kilos from his last start and will again be among the hardest to beat. GRINGOTTS (8) is very honest and has compiled a very good record. He starts favourite more often than not and has been tuned up for his return with a recent trial win at Warwick Farm. He comes to hand quickly and with James McDonald in the irons, he has to be respected. RAZORS (13) strips fitter after resuming with a solid effort for third on a soft track here a fortnight ago. He had 3 trials before that run so can be expected to improve quickly second-up. He maps to get a cosy run early and is capable of letting down quickly when presented in the home stretch. Each way. IKNOWASTAR (3) is very much win or bust. He usually takes a run but has had 2 trials and could well be on song fresh up for this. Include in all multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Razors each way.
