LUNAR SOLAR (2) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 6f at Naracoorte last time out. Will be hard to hold out again. UPSIDE (5) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on May 26 finishing ninth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 5f at Gunnedah. Now under the care of new trainer Ray Viney. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. TANGO STEPZ (6) was in the placings when 2 lengths away from the winner last time at this track and drops in the weights. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. One of the main contenders. FAMILY TIES (7) fought on for second last start over 5f at this track, beaten a nose to add to some fine recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
