Keen battle for the lead with Rich Star, Mini Angel and Midwest Princess in advance of Highwire Girl and Mum Knows. RICH STAR (1) progressive gelding who bounced off his good first-up second with a sizzling 3.5 len win over 1006m at this track to shed his Maiden tag. Can repeat the dose here from the good barrier. COCO DREAMING (3) winkers go on from the better gate after closing late for a respectable fourth over 1312m at Coffs Harbour. Drops in trip and look to see her race closer to the speed. Top-three contender. REFEREES (2) good type with the three excellent runs on his record. Jumped in grade from the outside gate with a fast finishing second over 1190m at this track. Poorly drawn again and expected to be there at the business end. SIVO (5) yet to place in five career starts at this track. Finally got off the mark at start thirteen with a tough on-pace victory over 1212m at Coffs Harbour. Raymond Spokes sticks and can stalk the fast tempo. MINI ANGEL (6) not that far away of late and should be near her top at her third start for the new yard. Place best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rich Star can go on with it now.
