Run Run Smart should find the front with True Brothers and The Unique Star on his heels. RUN RUN SMART (5) went close here two back before relishing the wet going last start, running away to win by 3.3L. Yuen's claim comes in handy again today as he carries less weight in this tougher assignment, but he'll be up from from the outset and tough to gun down. FIT FOR BEAUTY (3) has drawn wide his past couple, but has hit the line strongly in defeat, the most recent by 1.5L. Purton sticks with him here and he does have some tactical speed. Racing well without reward but this looks a race within his wheelhouse. THE UNIQUE STAR (6) bounced back to form last start out to this track and trip when setting the tempo. Has to do it back on top of the ground now, but he showed he'll run the journey there and he'll be in this for a long way. CHILL EASY (7) is building nicely this time in work and has to be included despite going under as favourite last start.
