Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Ben Stars. STARLITE REBEL (3) raced even money in a 60 at Betoota and was inconvenienced at the barrier. Her Darwin form prior reads well including over this distance. She deserves another chance. Stablemate GRINZINGER BISHOP (2) has a similar profile and finds easier. Keating is off the above to ride and he also has claims. STROMA ASTER (1) won a Maiden at Gatton over 1400m and then just missed at Roma coming back to 1000m. Stepping back up to a mile today and that's a niggle. But the grade suits and the 2kg claim brings him into it. LORD PERCY (4) would be a hope on his effort at Louth two-back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Starlite Rebel.
