Pace looks genuine from Port Louis, Stellar Madame and Ratnaraj, closely attended by First Division. PORT LOUIS (2) doesn't win out of turn but finds a nice race here off the back of consistent form, boxing on well for fifth at Ararat when last seen in similar company. The run prior at Avoca was also good and he draws for every hope. STARGUST (3) struggled when last seen at Werribee before a spell but did win his only fresh run to date and can certainly challenge in a thin affair. RATNARAJ (4) is off a let-up having faded at Penola in this grade last time. He should roll forward and could give cheek. SIERRA BLANCA (5) struggled in tougher company at Werribee last time, the run prior here reads well, respecting the Dabernig yard. THE MARINER (7) was better last time at Horsham and has claims off that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Port Louis.
