A solid tempo anticipated with Lim's Bighorn and Celsius Star ahead of Capper Thirtynine and Highland Harley. LAA DE SHA (2) is racing well this time in having won nicely over this track and trip first up, following it up with two strong efforts in handy races, beaten a neck by Immortal Star in a BM78 at Flemington last time out. This suits an he should go close. GOLD MEDALLIST (5) won her first four races in a row, resuming as favourite at Sale when dropping out after a wide run to finish last. She's better than that and should be a quick improver. CAPPER THIRTYNINE (4) was just fair first up off a short break at Caulfield but wasn't beaten all that far behind a good one in Gallant Son. His best is good enough to figure here. CELSIUS STAR (1) likes to mix his form, poor in the Gallant Son race last time but good prior behind Immortal Star which ties in. LIM'S BIGHORN (3) was fair fresh and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Laa De Sha to win.
