Strong early tempo with Haiku Star using the inside alley to advantage, joined by the speedy King Larry. HAIKU STAR (5) handy gelding who can carry the extra weight today and win again from the inside gate. Stalked the speed and asserted his authority when a tough length winner over this course and distance when resuming on May 10. Bar plates (front) go on and has excellent figures here. KING LARRY (13) looked slick on debut when led all the way to score as fav over 1007m at Taree a week-and-a-half ago. Well drawn again and the firmer track can see him improve further. SCHWOON (7) looked good when winning two back over this trip before finishing eighth over 1000m at this track on May 21. Not to be underestimated. HIRAISHIN (1) racing in career best form and gets weight relief again with the 3kg claim. Rounded them up effortlessly as fav when winning over 950m at Moree on June 4. Look for him late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Haiku Star to win.
