Diamond Dice is expected to lead at a keen tempo.
STARDUST MEMORIES (5) is a first starter by Zoustar from a Written Tycoon mare on debut for Waterhouse/Bott. Trials through 2025 were pretty uneventful but of late she is flying with two wins by an aggregate of 8.2 lengths. This looks a nice way to launch her career. COLD GIN (1) has had two runs back after almost a year off the scene. Dropped back to 1000m last start which wasn't ideal. Getting to 1200m third-up off a seven-day break is an appealing scenario. DIAMOND DICE (10) led and fought hard but eventually found a couple better over 1100m at Gosford recently. Has only been to the races twice and there is plenty of improvement still to come. I AM OVERS (6) made significant progress last start when a closing fourth in the same race as Diamond Dice at Gosford. Can improve further over the longer trip on a bigger track. MYSTICAL (2) is a two-year-old taking on older horses. Finished second to Paradoxium at Listed level in December so she should be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking the gamble on Stardust Memories.
