Plenty of early pressure from Lord Fenrir and Stars The Limit battling for the lead over Minister. STARS THE LIMIT (7) finished runner-up when resuming here as favourite nearly 2 weeks ago. He has a better record second up and can go one better. Follow your money. CANADA BAY (4) is making her local debut after not coming up in Sydney earlier in the season. She resumes at an easier level and can take this out, especially if the money comes for her. KARATEMISS (5) is an ex-Victorian mare who was in good form at the beginning of her last prep before losing her way later on. A change of environment can really help the older mares and she can't be ruled out of winning this. Watch the markets closely. YAROOMBA (1) peaked on his run late when resuming in this track nearly 6 weeks ago. He is much better than that and can bounce back and win this. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yaroomba each-way.
