They should run this along with San Marco and Highly Intrigued taking it up over Steve's Way. AMBER STAR (3) impressed racing in town last preparation and is ready to fire off a narrow defeat at Wangaratta. Proven third-up and maps for the run of the race. 2x winning rider Duffy is reunited, replacing the 4kg claiming apprentice. KING INCANTO (4) settled last in the same contest and couldn't have been more impressive getting up to win. Peaks for this, but he will give away a start and risks getting strung up from the inside draw. Has claims if things work out. HIGHLY INTRIGUED (8) has been within range without winning. Has the blinkers on for the first time and has 3kg weight relief at this level. That gives her a hope. SHEER LUNACY (6) is racing well and is on a quick backup. He's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Amber Star.
