Strong early tempo with Just So Sassy, City Angel and Smokey Mountain leading the way. Difficult race to assess but CRIPPALENKO (5) looks the best suited. Jumped equal favourite over 1200m here last start and probably didn't run out the journey. Back to this trip now looks ideal and he maps to get every chance. Can bounce back in a big way. STAR POWER (6) made it three wins in-a-row when holding on to win narrowly at the midweeks last time out. That rating was good, but she's never won at this trip which is a big niggle. Brad Parnham riding is a positive sign though and winning form is good form. GO GO GROMMET (3) was stretched in trip at the end of last campaign and didn't see out the extra trip. Now 101 days between runs and resumes without a trial. Goes well fresh though and is right in the mix on best form. BREAD TO FLIRT (2) usually improves third-up into the campaign and has placed 4/7 at this trip. PLATINUM CLASS (7) is always thereabouts and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Crippalenko.
