Solid tempo anticipated with Remy's Bro and This Ain't Texas pressing forward with Slater's Boy not far away. STAR INTENTION (6) is a 4YO Star Witness mare on debut for the Murray camp. Caught the eye with a stylish trial in readiness and keeps JVO. Bright start anticipated. REMY'S BRO (2) has been in the money at both runs this time in work and the maiden win looks imminent following a good second over 1010m at Sapphire Coast last time. Ready to peak. THIS AIN'T TEXAS (8) finds the maiden win elusive but boasts a fitness edge and should be at her top fourth-up. Boudvillain's booking is a good sign. SLATER'S BOY (1) returns from a long break and while there's a chance he needs the run, the Loy/Pepper combo is one that can't be ignored. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Star Intention on debut.
