Anticipate I Need A Drink, Sir Lord and Django Express to set a strong tempo. I’M A DEXSTAR (1) relished the drop in grade here last time when just missing the bob to Sir Lord. Peaking now and gets a handy weight swing on the winner. Expecting him to get the job done. I NEED A DRINK (2) comes through the same race, sticking on gamely into third. Also meets the winner better this time and fitter now, he’s a genuine chance to turn the tables. SIR LORD (3) had their measure last time when arriving just in time but must lug an extra 2kgs. Still commands respect though the impost could prove telling. DIAMONDS ARE (6) made very light work of rivals when resuming at Ceduna. This is tougher but he gets in light with the claim and warrants consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: I'm A Dexstar to win.
