ONE MORE STAR is better than his last start against stronger company as he was reported to be fatigued. He has won twice and finished second once from four starts over this C&D. The son of One World drops back in class and with Callan Murray in the saddle, he can return to winning ways. GIMMEACHOICE'S last two starts have been good. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry- ripe. Mickaelle Michel takes the 1.5kgs off his back which will assist his cause. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces. NARETOI followed up his maiden victory with a good third-place finish over 1800m on this course. He does have a wide draw to overcome, but Marco van Rensburg knows him well and should give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle. REDLIGHTGREENLIGHT finished 2.1 lengths behind the third choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may battle to turn the form around.
