STARTLING STAR (10) scored last time over 1m2 1/2f at this track, making it two victories from four appearances this campaign. Has a solid record at this circuit. Likely to feature. I LOVE YOUR SMILE (4) turned in an eye-catching run over 1m2 1/2f at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and two placings from six tries. A bold showing is expected. ANTIQUE STAR (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in contention on the turn over 1m2 1/2f at this track, beaten a head. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FIRST ENCOUNTER (2) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1m at Northam, finishing sixth and beaten 3. 5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
