Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. Small field but plenty chances. Most come through the Scissor Me Timbers race where STELLA BYSTARLIGHT (4) was runner-up. Raced on speed and was grabbed late. Continues to race well and will take catching again. RIVER FROST (3) came through the same race and kept coming, working home strongly into third. Will stalk the pace again and prove tough to hold out. OKESUTORA (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Back in trip and will wind up late. BONNY IMPACT (6) has two placings from three appearances this preparation and finished 5 lengths off the winner last start at this track and is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Stella Bystarlight.
