Despite the outside draw Steel Strike can take it up in what looks to be a low-pressure contest. AMREEKIYAH (7) is promising and looked a run short resuming at Kembla Grange over 1200m. Proven second-up and maps for the run of the race. Has plenty in the tank and she's the one they have to beat. STEEL STRIKE (2) is Stakes-placed and he just missed here first-up over 1200m. Led and won his only second-up outing and Clark will skip him across and ride the speed. Strips fitter and is sure to take pegging back. STARMAN (4) also races forward and was quickly back on track beaten less than 2L on the Kensington. Has a handy 3kg claim today and the blinkers are applied for the first time. Solid each-way claims. SISTER SHAY (10) is Victorian-trained and has won three of her last four outings. Led and won a 70 easily at Wodonga last time and gets in well with the 3kg claim. Expect her to give a big sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Amreekiyah to win.
