A SHINING STAR

BEST BET I AM A STAR (R6, No.7) Fourth run in last time she easily won the Sunline Stakes over this track and distance. She didn’t have a lot of luck last start at Flemington. EARLY QUADDIE 1,3,4,7,9 / 2,8,11,12 / 1,3,5,9 / 4,6,10,12 COST: $100 for 31.25% BEST VALUE MADEENATY (R4, No.10) Brilliant three-year-old filly who is better suited at this trip and looks well weighted. BIG 6 1,9 / 4,6,10 / 1,2,4,6 / 1,7,11 / 2,5,12,13 / 4,9 COST: $100 for 17.36% KOBAYASHI (1) will find this easier than his recent assignments. He flew last start at Caulfield before tiring. MURAAQEB (4) is an aboveaverage colt and the blinkers go on for the first time. Lost his momentum last start here when he went wide around the turn. CORUSCATE (3) showed talent as a two-yearold with form against smart horses. EXPERIMENTATION (7) strolled in last start at Pakenham Synthetic. OVER EXPOSURE (9) was backed as if unbeatable on debut at Balaklava and the money was spot on. BET Kobayashi win FOUNDATION (6) was a good thing beaten last start, being held up for the last 300m when full of running. That followed a third, also over this track and trip, when he tried to lead throughout. STAR EXHIBIT (4) was well backed to win the Dato Tan Chin Nam but lost his rider at the start. TAVAGO (1) ran an excellent seventh in the Makybe Diva first-up. He won the Sky High Stakes second-up last time. Kiwi JON SNOW (2) has been solid in his two Australian starts and gets to his preferred trip. ECUADOR (3) is likely to lead. BET Foundation each-way MILES OF KRISHAN (12) is an above-average mare making her debut for Lindsay Park. She performed well in a recent jumpout at Flemington. SO YOU TOO (11) resumed with a second in Adelaide three weeks ago. Last campaign she finished third to Sweet Sherry in the Group 2 Euclase Stakes in Adelaide. RUETTIGER (2) has been racing consistently against stronger fields. LABUAN STAR (8) is a consistent mare. WELL SPRUNG (3) hasn’t had much luck in recent starts but has the talent to win this. BET Miles Of Krishan e-w I AM A STAR (7) carried a big weight and was held up in the straight when seventh in the Let’s Elope. Fourth run in last campaign she strolled home in the Sunline under 59.5kg. SMART AS YOU THINK (11) finished well for fifth in the same race and won her only start here. HELL OR HIGHWATER (1) made it a hat-trick when she led throughout to win the Heatherlie. LIZZIE L’AMOUR (3) pulled up with an irregular heartbeat after her Australian debut when seventh in the Dato. She’s a Group 1 winner in NZ. MONTOYA’S SECRET (8) should be ready to improve. BET I Am A Star win HOUTZEN (1) wasn’t disgraced when she finished a short-priced third in the Group 2 McEwen Stakes against top older sprinters after being trapped wide throughout. Regular jockey Jeff Lloyd will ride her and is expected to use gate three to lead. This is much easier against her own sex. MINTHA (9) finished powerfully for fifth to FOX SWIFT (5) at Flemington over 1200m. SPLIT LIP (3) ran home well for second in that race. INVINCIBLE STAR (4) resumes, having shown heaps of talent in her two starts. BET Houtzen win Going to be crazy speed. MALAGUERRA (2) is a first-up specialist who might gain a spot behind the leading group and charge home. A Group 1 winner, he has trialled well at Cranbourne. RUSSIAN REVOLUTION (5) was impressive winning the McEwen Stakes here. Golden Slipper winner SHE WILL REIGN (13) resumes with a big weight advantage. Should also be just off the leaders. SWEET SHERRY (12) is underrated and is drawn to get a good run. TERRAVISTA (1) flies first-up, HEATHERLY (11) and VIDDORA (10) are the next best. BET Malaguerra each-way Speedy three-year-old MADEENATY (10) tried hard when a close-up fourth to Pariah in the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes after finishing second first-up at Flemington to Crown Witness. She is taking on older horses but looks well placed. SUPER TOO (6) is a flying machine and will take catching from barrier one. Fellow Sydney sprinter SUPER MAXI (4) stretched Speedeor at Sandown last start. BALANCING ACT (12) showed great improvement last campaign and has had one start here for a win. BET Madeenaty win WASSERGEIST (9) won with authority at Sandown Hillside after being unlucky at his first two starts. He’s up in grade but looks to have the potential to win this Group 2. Has Hugh Bowman aboard. Stablemate SALSAMOR (7) is promising. MASCULINO (4) made it two from two this campaign with an easy win here over 1509m. TOGA PICTA (6) didn’t fire at Flemington but is better than that. SHOWTIME (3) wasn’t disgraced behind Royal Symphony at Flemington last start. Tony McEvoy is confident AZAZEL (2) will be suited by 1600m. BET Wassergeist each-way
