Expecting Shamastar to take up the running with Mandarin and Tassoro close at hand. MOUSSAKA (1) lengthened nicely in the lane second-up when closing off sharply into the placings. Nearing peak now and should appreciate the added trip. Holder sticking adds to confidence. MYSTRIX (8) was sent forward last time at Balaklava and kept fighting in the lane to hold down a minor placing. Has been kept fresh with 35 days between runs and finds another good chance to get off the mark. TASSORO (2) showed good improvement here second-up when beaten less than a length. Steps out in trip a month between runs and is among the main chances with further improvement in store. CELEMAN ZOR (3) steps out in new colours and drops back in trip 53 days between runs. Has trialled nicely in between and is one to keep in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moussaka gets the nod.
