Moochi Starlight and Wax On Wax Off can be prominent. MOOCHI STARLIGHT (2) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory with consecutive runner-up finishes and this is not an overly strong affair. Has placed two from three over this course and distance and gets the services of gun hoop Wiggins in the irons. Will prove tough to hold out. LADY WILLPOWER (10) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the two runs prior to start the career were full of merit. Right in the mix. WAX ON WAX OFF (5) strips fitter second-up from the break and will find this easier than recent efforts. Ideally placed against this line-up. SHEMAKESMENERVOUS (11) has had a few chances but is usually thereabouts and is a must for the multiples. PENROD (4) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,10,5,11.
