CLIMBING STAR (3) was given time to settle from an outside draw when resuming last time then wound up strongly in the straight for an eye-catching third over 5½f in the G3 RN Irwin Stakes at this track. Sound record at this distance with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs and can get the job done. ASFOORA (1) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by a long neck when resuming last time out over 5½f in the G3 RN Irwin Stakes at this track. Should park just off the speed despite a difficult draw. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. COMMEMORATIVE (7) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a long neck, over 6f at Randwick. Good record at this journey with two wins and three minor placings from seven starts and should be involved in the finish. A LITTLE DEEP (6) was given a short break after winning over 5½f at Flemington. Kept ticking over since with a trial win at Cranbourne. Has claims on best figures so don't underestimate.
