Genuine tempo with Coal Crusher leading the way. DRAGONSTONE (12) closed off strongly with the 57kg when a most improved second over 1200m at Rosehill in the G3 Star Kingdom. Gets a similar set up here with the solid tempo and capable of going one better. OSTRAKA (7) racing well and saves his best for this track and trip. Returned good figures last start and has the speed to get cover from the draw. Stays in the mix. MAZU (5) drops in weight and capable of taking this out from the good gate after finishing a close fifth over 1200m at Rosehill in the G3 Star Kingdom. Gets his chance. XIDAKI (10) an each way hopeful. Has placed in each of his three prior first up outings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dragonstone to go close.
