MANDALONG STARZ (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m at Canberra. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. PAUJI POWER (4) was safely held last start when ninth over 1m2 1/2f at Goulburn. May appreciate the shorter journey this time. Better than that and can feature on his best form. KENSEYE CHARMER (3) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1m2f at Canberra, finishing fourth and beaten 0.7 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. TAXPAYER (5) will appreciate the step back in grade after finishing 17th last start over 7½f at Rosehill, that effort coming on the back of a win in a at Gundagai. Likely improver.
