STARDECK GROUP HANDICAP 1103m Track: GOOD Rail: True. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected from Esquel and Imperialize. STAR POWER (1) got the prize two runs ago at Port Hedland. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1200m at Port Hedland, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up and she can bounce back to winning ways. IMPERIALIZE (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 0.9 lengths from the winner at the end of 1205m after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. FAVOURED SON (3) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by a long neck over 1103m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SANSANEE (7) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1103m at this track after a win at Port Hedland at the previous outing. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance. ESQUEL (2) is on the quick turnaround here and can't be left out of calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Power can return to winning form.
