Plenty of early pace to be established by Invahir, Takara Star and Coup De Tonnerre, with Star Seeker close at hand. INVAHIR (5) has been racing well including past two over this course and distance. Rolled along in front last start and was only collared in the final 50m when 4th in Bm68 here on May 1. Drawn well and should give a great sight again. READY FOR ANYTHING (2) looks better suited here third-up and 1.5kg claim for apprentice Cody Collis will help. Has a good record at this track with two wins and a second from three starts and is capable of figuring. STAR SEEKER (9) was good last start when second at this track on April 10, narrowly beating home INVAHIR so has to be respected from barrier one. SPILL THE SECRET (7) drops in weight on recent starts and is a winner over this course and distance. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to go with Invahir.
