Even pace with The Wolf prominent. DUSAN (4) chasing his third-straight victory today and going nicely through his grades. Gave them a galloping lesson last time out when a dominant 3 len winner over 1010m at Murwillumbah on June 23. Can win again in this stronger contest with the claim. MORE THAN A STAR (7) looks to have strengthened up over the break after returning with a slashing second after coming from last on the turn, over 1000m at Scone on June 23. Goes just as well second-up and the extra trip suits. BOAMBEE BEACH (12) racing in good order and has solid each way prospects when a tiring fourth over 1450m at Kempsey on June 20. No shock to see her take this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4, 7,12.
