In a race devoid of pace Brainiac will be prominent. TWINKLING STAR (3) can deliver a running double for the sharp Michael Freedman stable. She has threatened her last two starts in stronger provincial company and peaks for this contest. She races forward and jumped a $1.8 favourite last time. NAVY BUOY (2) resumes and two back was beaten 2L at Canberra on debut. That stacks up, and he owns a 789m Warwick Farm trial win. He maps for the run of the race and will be naturally improved. PUZZLER (8) also brings strong provincial form to peak. She's suited back to a shorter sprint, briefly freshened. Keep onside. DEEP EMOTION (6) was supported, but just battled first-up on a heavy track at Beaumont-Newcastle. She draws an outside gate, but has shown enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Twinkling Star.
