Solid tempo with Staroshka possessing enough dash to find the front. STAROSHKA (2) is a promising galloper, presenting off a 65 win at the track. Strips fitter and maps well. He's been kept on the fresh side and can go on with the job. GREAT BARRIER REEF (1) resumed further improved winning in this grade at the Sunshine Coast by 2.8L. That stacks right up, and he's won 2/3 second-up. Maps awkwardly, but rates a threat. THAT'S AN EXTRA (6) resumes and is a first-up winner who's delivered 2/2 this course/distance. Owns a trial win and maps for a soft run. Huxtable's booking suggests she's pleasing. KING OF THE JUNGLE (5) resumes and has placed 2/3 fresh. He has a handy 3kg claim and will cross and position forward. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Staroshka appeals most.
