|---|---|---|---|---|

STARTIN TO GOGH (9) has finished midfield in higher-graded races in his two starts off a spell and should be close to his peak now.
Draws on the second line so may need luck at some point but is suited returning to a circuit and distance where he has yet to miss a place in six attempts, winning three of them. CHARLIES ACE (3) enjoyed a class drop on her latest appearance at Menangle and placed at that venue prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw so has winning claims. BOULEVARDOFDREAMS (1) has come from wider barriers in her three starts at Menangle since a spell. Race fit now and is suited by a class drop and the ace draw. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN (2) has been coming from wider or second line barriers so could show more from the good draw.

Strips fitter and from the pegs gets her chance to impress. |
