Strong tempo with Itzabeast and Fifth Essence leading the way over Cinque Stelle. CINQUE STELLE (8) bounced back from an issue last start to win dominantly at Bunbury, scoring by 2.5L. Out to 1400m doesn't look an issue and Pike remaining on board is a big push for her chances. She looks a nice horse on the rise and this looks well within her wheelhouse. REFEMME NO ANGEL (6) won well fresh before jumping an odds-on pop last start and missing in a photo finish. The wide draw is a query, but he does possess some good early speed and with a touch of luck, he can make an impression. DELTASON (2) just missed last start at this track and trip, beaten 0.7L in this grade. He's drawn out again but almost accounted for that last start and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. FIFTH ESSENCE (1) can feature in the finish off a 42-day break. TIDWELL (7) won well last start and has to be included dropping back to this level. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cinque Stelle is an exciting horse on the rise.
