Solid pace from Legacy Of Tara and Star Power pushing forward with Solar System in close attendance. STAR POWER (4) made it three in a row when holding on over this course and distance last time, scoring in a photo. We'll get a gauge on that form in Race 3, but she appears to have hit her straps this time in. Rapidly improving with every run and can keep the picket fence going. SOLAR SYSTEM (7) didn't run out the journey over 1400m last time out and looks suited back to this journey. Suspect the stable will return to the way they did things first-up when narrowly beaten as a deep odds-on favourite. That level of form is good enough to feature. ZANGIEF (3) bolted in as a 25-1 chance on the Scarpside at Pinjarra last time out. This is a tougher assignment, but it's hard to ignore what he did last start and a repeat effort would see him go close again. SHE'S IMMINENT (2) is better than she showed first-up and can produce a much better effort this time. STORM LEADER (6) can improve getting back out to this trip third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Power can make it four in-a-row.
