Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Justa Star. MATISSE (8) should relish the rise to 1400m third-up off the back of two strong chasing efforts back in Victoria. Won't know herself under the light weight and gets a good bunny to chase in SF. Will take plenty of holding out. STAY FOCUSED (1) also comes over the border and boasts the strongest form lines. Showed great grit to keep finding and get the bob last start at the Valley. Drawn to advantage and is sure to give a great sight. ON DISPLAY (10) caught the eye last start at the Valley when darting through late behind the promising Clean Energy at G3 level. Open to further improvement third-up and is another that will relish the added trip. Gets the chance to take closer order and has to be taken seriously. Smaller case can be made for YES LULU (9). SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Matisse. Saving on On Display.
