Genuine tempo with the speedy Tambourine Man leading the way. Competitive. STARZAM (2) switched barns and resumed in a country Open in good shape before being outgraded at Eagle Farm. This is much more to his liking and his figures over a mile are compelling. A stable favourite rides today and he can win with average luck. SMART AS SMART (6) was back to his best belting the 62 graders by 3L this track/trip at short odds. Followed with a plainer effort at the Sunshine Coast over longer. He draws handy and carries 3.5kg less. A bounce isn't out of the question. SIR LAMORAK (1) hasn't won for an age but there was a lot to like about the 1.2L defeat at the Gold Coast in better grade. He'd be a player holding that form and carrying a kilo less with the 3kg claim. SCHOONA THE BETTER (7) has had three starts since a 662-day break and he was beaten just 1L this grade/trip at the Sunshine Coast last time. Maps for a soft run and deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Starzam.
