Expecting Chef Militaire to set a strong tempo from the inside along with Star Casino. STAR CASINO (2) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by a healthy margin here. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. NEVER SURRENDER (3) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CHEF MILITAIRE (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1100m at Hawker. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win if at his best. I'M KENNY (9) was well below his best last time but should find this easier on the quick back-up and is worth another chance on best form. MR TRAFFICANTI (7) will be hoping they overdo it in front so he can try and reel them in late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Star Casino.
