Solid tempo likely from Chandon Star and Cresta Run. RIVKIN (4) meets Dune And Dusted 2kg better after flashing late at Walcha to miss by only a neck. He strips fitter third-up and is going well, but once again has a sticky gate to contend with. INAZUMA BOY (10) put it all together at Dubbo last start, digging in to score by a head. This is tougher, but he gets 2kg off and deserves serious respect. CHANDON STAR (3) is absolutely airborne, bringing up the hat-trick at Tamworth when leading throughout again. He’ll spear forward and make them catch him. DUNE AND DUSTED (8) had their measure second-up at Walcha, digging deep to notch up their eighth career win. He concedes weight to a few here but should only improve further third-up. Very capable of repeating the dose. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rivkin to win.
