Genuine tempo from Seastraand leading Issy's Star. VIVIAN'S EXPRESS (8) underrated filly who strips fitter for this. Just over a month between runs when she warmed up late for an unlucky eighth over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Gives the impression this trip will suit and represents good value. ISSY'S STAR (6) returned for her second campaign with a fast finishing second over 1200m at Beaumont (Newcastle) in C2 class. Ready for the 1300m and anywhere near her best can win this. SHE MOVES TOO (9) beaten for early speed on resumption and never looked a winning prospect with a plugging seventh over 1250m at Canterbury. Finds an easier assignment and can take a hand in the finish. IN LIMBO (11) finally shed her Maiden tag at start eight with a sharp victory over 1200m at Wyong. Produced a handy set of figures on that occasion and can go on with it here from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vivian's Express each-way.
