|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Iknowastar and Foniska leading the way over Cosmic Vega. IKNOWASTAR (10) tough on-speed gelding who returned in good order when a fighting second over 1400m at this track on March 30. Goes just as well second-up and will take plenty of catching again. WATERFORD (4) multiple Group 2 placegetter resuming. Had no luck from the wide draw when a close-up fifth in the G2 Ingham at Randwick over 1600m on December 9. Has looked sharp in his two latest trials and expected to sprint well fresh. AMOKURA (3) Queensland Oaks winner resuming from a five-and-a-half-month break. Had no luck from the wide draw when a tenacious third in the G2 Matriarch over 2000m at Flemington last November. Had two searching 1000m trials in readiness for this and not to be underestimated. GREBENI (2) classy gelding resuming after going out a winner after taking out the Maroubra over 1600m at Randwick on December 30. Finished second in a recent 900m trial and just needs luck from the sticky gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Iknowastar to win.
