Spectacular Star and Supreme Honours can be prominent. RODEO DEALER (6) returning from a spell and now in the Peter Kirby yard. Back without a trial after struggling at provincial level at his last two starts. Comes to hand quickly and has a host of gear changes for this. Respect. ARGYLE LAIRD (1) drifted back then closed late for a respectable fourth on resumption over 1000m at Orange. Can go on with it now from the low draw. SUPREME HONOURS (7) failed to back up the good run at Cooma two back, when seventh over 1000m at Gundagai. Had excuses at the latest and Billy Owen sticks. Each-way. SPUNKY REWARD (10) is having her fourth start today and finds an easier race after struggling when seventh over 1100m at Dubbo. Goes into the exotics with Neale's claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rodeo Dealer will take holding out.
