Strong pace from Rail Trail and Take The Chance matching motors with Man From Brussells close at hand. STAR BLING (7) ran a handy race when resuming on a heavy track at the Sapphire Coast and has placed in both second-up efforts. Fitter and sure to be in the finish somewhere. RAIL TRAIL (4) was a short priced favourite when breaking through for a maiden win at Scone at his third run back. Nicely drawn and could go on with the job. SPECIAL PROPHET (6) is resuming since a win at Albury back in July but is a recent trial winner and can run well fresh. WASTED DAYS (3) and MAN FROM BRUSSELS (5) have each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Bling to win. Save on Rail Trail.
