Geostorm and Vegas Dream should set a strong gallop. SNOWY (2) is ready to make her return after enjoying a successful debut campaign. Hasn't been seen at any public trials but early market support suggests she can pick right back up from where she left off. VEGAS DREAM (1) has been thereabouts in his two runs back without putting a full race together. Should be nearing his peak now and is aided under the big weight with the 1.5kg claimer going on. STAR BLING (9) returns for a smart stable and has run fresh before. Trialled nicely in readiness and is drawn to get the gun run for Keatings. Certainly in the mix. GEOSTORM (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Snowy to win.
