Genuine tempo with the speedy La Astro Chat leading the way. STREET ARTIST (13) resumes. He's a talented 3yo who has contested some strong races to date. His biggest win came here at Mornington over this trip in slick time when winning by nearly five lengths. He maps nicely and will go close fresh. KILLIANA (12) resumes for her second campaign. She was a dominant winner on debut at Bendigo, measuring up in some good races thereafter, boasting a win over the talented Salty Pearl. She can go on with it this time in. SUN SETTING (11) resumes. She's only missed the placings once over 1000m and has the turn of foot to be charging at them late. ALONG THE RIVER (7) continues to race well without winning. Trust he'll be up on speed and running well again. RUNLIKENENCRYPTION (9) is another going well and should be right there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Street Artist to win.
