Antique Star to roll forward and dictate terms. STARTLING STAR (10) bounced back to winning ways in fine style last start when running over the top to score by 1.3L. She should be better for that effort and the extra 100m won't pose an issue. Likely to get back again but with her upside, she can repeat the dose. ANTIQUE STAR (1) led them up last start but was caught late when an odds-on favourite, beaten 0.2L. She'll be able to dictate the tempo once again under Martinan with her 3kg claim coming in handy. Can go one better again this time. I LOVE YOUR SMILE (4) boasts a strong third-up record, as well as a good record at this track and trip. She was warming up late last start and with further improvement expected, she makes plenty of appeal. I DREAMED A DREAM (6) sat handy and beat Antique Star last time and can't be left out of calculations. FIRST ENCOUNTER (2) is third-up now and can strike getting out to a more suitable distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Startling Star can go back-to-back.
