Raikoke and Silentsar to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. FIRE STAR (12) was rewarded for consistency when he easily defeated the in-form Bonita Queen over 1100m at this track nine days ago. Won't mind the extra 100m and the quick back-up is a positive sign from the stable. The one to beat again. MIDNIGHT OPAL (8) returns from a five-month break and has been gelded. Showed glimpses of ability last prep including close-up efforts in the South Pacific Classic and Darby Munro. Won a recent Newcastle trial and might be ready to go to a new level this time in work. VICTORY LANE (7) raced near the tail then took a while to get clear before storming home over 1300m at Rosehill last time. Coming back in trip is a query but he should be strong late again. RAVENCLAW (10) bolted in over this trip at Rosehill a fortnight ago. Up a little in grade but has improvement to come at the third run back. Zeditave Stakes winner RAIKOKE (1) ran a nice race at Randwick last start and has the class to test this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fire Star on top in a very deep race.
