Strong tempo with Flanagan, Lady Potato Head and Nursery Chime leading the way. KASTUN STAR (7) went close at Moe and then delivered an easy Maiden win this track/trip for the speed. The local has plenty of scope for improvement, and Ben Melham is a key jockey engagement. LADY POTATO HEAD (8) rates similarly on her second-up win here this grade/trip. She can build on that, and from a handy gate the 2kg claimer can give her the run of the race. FINALE (11) resumed on a slow track at Bendigo and needed the outing. Has jumped out well since and is proven second-up. The longer sprint suits and a good surface will favour. A chance. NURSERY CHIME (4) led and was only beaten 1.6L at Sandown-Lakeside two back over a mile. Has the rail and small claim, and back in grade he can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Kastun Star.
