Strong pace from Keith and Altrove matching motors with Star Empire close at hand. STAR EMPIRE (6) made a mess of them two-back at Wagga over this trip in dominant style. Then struggled over the 2000m at Queanbeyan when a fading sixth when up in class. Back to his right trip and John Kissick goes back on. Well placed to take this out. STRATEGIC DEFENSE (9) improving mare chasing her third straight victory. Stalked the speed from the good draw when proving too strong over this track and trip. No reason she can't win again. LOST YA SOCK (8) Wagga-trained mare racing in a rich vein of form. Looking to make it three-straight after proving too tough over the 1600m at Wagga. Genuine top three player. DESERT OPAL (4) fourth-up today and expecting a better showing after disappointing when ninth over 1400m at Gundagai. Gets Button's claim again and has solid figures on his home track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,9,8.
