Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Star Rapper to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. STAR RAPPER (7) resumes for a sharp metro yard and she was heavily backed in both race starts, with the latest at Moonee Valley. He draws wide but has had three jump-outs and should be ready to go. Well bred and has shown enough to say this is winnable. REGINA DEI RE (13) is heading in the right direction and won't have to improve much to go close. INSAIN HARRY (5) is knocking on the door but has to push over from the outside gate. He can make the finish if that works out. ARABIAN MYTH (2) was good first-up but has been plain the two since. Has the tongue tie applied for the first time and has been kept on the fresh side. A better effort won't surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Rapper appeals most.
