Revolver and Hoodys Horse are both expected to press forward and take it up. STAR CROUPIER (14) has threatened both starts this preparation and is ready to find her best. She will position herself forward from the inside barrier and get every chance. REVOLVER (7) went close at Bendigo first-up at the mile and is further improved. Maps for a soft on-pace run, and has winning claims. STARDEALT (8) peaks off a string of narrow defeats with the latest in Adelaide over 2000m. He's been kept on the fresh side and deserves another chance. SIGNOR BILL (10) is genuine, and this isn't beyond his reach. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Croupier each-way.
