My Star to take charge ahead of Warm Front at a solid tempo. GRAND CAROUSEL (8) fifth up for this and no excuses today from the low gate. Cruised across from a sticky gate and showed a ton of grit with a narrow second over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Regular rider retains the ride and is adept in all conditions. Go close. YVONNE'S JOY (11) last two runs in town have been sound and can shed her Maiden tag here. Got going late after she laid out on the turn with a solid fourth over 1200m at Canterbury. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. ZOUSARI (7) improved sharply when up in trip for a slashing third with the 59kg over 1250m at Newcastle. Gets a better set-up today and sure to be around the money. CALL ME ROOKIE (3) Harry Angel gelding from Cambric on debut for the Pfieffer yard. Trialled well in town and must be respected from the inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,11,7,3.
