Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably Star Blazer. STUBBYHOLLER (2) is back from a four-month spell and wears blinkers for the first time. Opened last prep with a barnstorming win over 1100m at Wangaratta. Placed 3/3 at this distance and draws the perfect gate so everything points towards a strong return. MENTALIA (3) won his first two race starts then found the company at Caulfield last time a bit rich. Back in his right race and well in after the claim so expect a return to form. NO QUARANTINE (4) had a one-month let-up before turning in a better performance last start over 1206m at Benalla. Placed 3/4 here at this journey so must go in the numbers. JASKIER (8) returned to form in a Class 1 here at this trip last time. Worth considering at huge odds. STAR BLAZER (1) did nothing first-up at Berrigan but gets a host of gear changes today and his second-up record is far better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stubbyholler to win first-up.
