Expecting a strong tempo with I'm Opinionated, Spandex and Namara going forward ahead of Star Prediction and Qui Rouge. STAR PREDICTION (1) ready to shed his maiden status at start seven after finishing in the minor money at his last two outings. Gets a more economical run for this with Wilkes' 1.5kg claim. No excuses here. SPANDEX (4) lightly raced gelding expected to get off the mark quickly this time in. Fitted with the two searching trials at Beaumont and senior rider booked. Leading prospect. NAMARA (3) has a good provincial record and strips fitter after resuming with a fading fourth over 1000m at Hawkesbury. In leading yard and improvement is expected. QUI ROUGE (6) best performance in three career runs when second over 1000m at Gulgong. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Prediction to win.
