Uranus Star can burn across from wide out and set a strong tempo. EVERYONE'S STAR (2) has gone under narrowly in both runs this campaign missing by 0.5L fresh before going under in a photo most recently. He mightn't be as far back from the draw this time around and Purton remains in the saddle. He can get back to winning ways now. EIGHTY LIGHT YEARS (12) settled on the speed here first-up and may have just felt the pinch late, unable to fend off the winner when beaten 1L most recently. Harry Bentley takes the ride now and he rates highly on that effort. Expecting him to be fitter for that performance and he can go one better. STAR RISE (3) looks suited out to this trip for the first time today with the way he's been finishing off strongly in his past couple. McDonald remains with the gelding and he still has plenty of upside. No doubt has 4YO Series ambitions and can begin his journey there today. CHARMING LEGEND (4) has trialled well coming into this has to be included.
