Strong pace with Lim's Bighorn pushing forward along with Divine Fire from an outside gate. Looks like another race in which the Jolly and Toeroek combo can strike. STAR SIRIUS (7) is better than what she's produced her last two starts and if she can get back to the form that saw her win at Flemington in May, she's the one to beat here. STARLITE VALLEY (8) is a prolific winner that makes her own luck up on the speed. She'll be in front at some stage and might be able to hold most of her rivals at bay. LIM'S BIGHORN (1) hops across the border and brings obvious claims. He's another who rolls forward and with the 3kg claim, he can be hard to run down. VOLTAGE POINT (2) and RICH GINA (13) must go into quaddies and wider plays based on their recent form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lim's Bighorn is worth an each-way bet.
