Moderate pace from Pepperdine taking it up with Astra Star and Kind Wish on his back.
PEPPERDINE (5) improved sharply last start at the second run of the campaign, leading for home then defying all challengers over 1400m at this track, his seventh win from ten runs here. Equally as effective at the mile. Boasts a 50% win strike rate at this stage of the prep and he looks perfectly placed to improve on that record. DIVAKARA (6) made it two in a row when he came from the rear of the field to salute over 1800m at the Sunshine Coast last time out. Drops a massive 8kgs today and his record at this distance is impressive. Clearly a threat. GIVE ME SPACE (1) has switched from the Hayes stable to Rodney Hay since a midfield finish over 1400m at Sandown a month ago. Has never raced beyond 1440m but his form in Victoria against far better opposition reads well. AMENOPHIS (7) caught the eye over 1300m at Toowoomba last start, flashing home for a close second. Three-time winner at 1600m and drops sharply in the weights. The consistent ASTRA STAR (4) is a must for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pepperdine to win a good race.
