From the inside gate Mishima is expected to dash through and lead from Star Of Kongo and Pianta. STAR OF KONGO (4) has performed well in his two runs this campaign, featuring in the money. Slight drop in trip here no concern. Look for a forward showing. SUBARCTIC (5) has been in the placings at all four runs since coming down from NSW and is sure to feature prominently again. PIANTA (8) disappointed second-up at Bairnsdale after posting a solid effort at that track when resuming. Strips fitter again and is not without claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Star Of Kongo to win.
