STAR PREDICTION (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1250m at Canterbury, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PIERONIMO (10) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at Scone when returning from a spell. Among the leading chances. MILLIE DE LUNE (8) got well back over 1400m at Nowra last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 4.5 lengths away in sixth. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. TAWFIQ TOM (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
