Genuine tempo from Holpin leading Ivan. JUSTA STAR (12) found one better here last start over a shorter journey but still did a good job to beat home a few of these. Should be nearing his peak third-up and gets in low at the weights again with the 2kg claimer sticking. Just needs a sprinkle of luck from the draw. SPLASH LANDING (14) continues to hit the line hard but is leaving herself with too much to do. Could go either way from the inside, will prove tough to stop if close enough when turning. HOLPIN (2) was much better last start at Mt Gambier when closing off strongly into the frame. Strips fitter on the quick back-up and is among the key chances. IVAN (3) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Justa Star gets the nod.
