Looks a keen contest with With Strength and Rich Dispute pressing for the lead with Amber Star and On Point Pixie close at hand. WITH STRENGTH (2) finished runner-up in his two runs back and a win looks imminent. Has a good record at this track and ticks a few boxes with the claim. PLEASE ME DO (10) kept fresh for this after she finished over the top of them with a slick win over 1100m at Kilmore. Kept up to the mark with a trial placing at Kyneton. Genuine top-three contender. PARIAH FLYER (9) bounced off the good first-up third with a tenacious Maiden victory over this track and trip. Has a stack of upside and can overcome the wide draw again. AMBER STAR (1) good fresh gelding resuming with the two solid jump outs. Sat on the speed with a gritty third over 1590m at Wodonga in BM62 class. Claim helps and has a good record at this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,10,9,1.
