Genuine tempo from So Superior leading The Iron Star. DERRY CITY FELIX (1) potential staying gelding ready to shed his Maiden tag from the low draw. Used up early from the wide barrier with a battling fourth over 1500m at Kembla Grange on the heavy (9) surface. Winkers go on and ready to win on the firmer surface. WAVE DANCER (10) shapes as the main danger after making rapid improvement from last on the turn with an eye-catching third over 1200m at Goulburn on the soft (7) track. Ready for the trip and expect to see her a little closer in the run. THE IRON STAR (6) ran some good races here last campaign and close to his top third-up. Just over three weeks between runs with a plugging fifth over 1500m at Kembla Grange. Keep safe. STOCK ROAD (4) holding his form in weaker company and ready for the 1600m third-up. Surged late from the sticky gate with a close-up second over 1406m at Queanbeyan. Value player. SUGGESTED PLAY: Derry City Felix maps to win.
