STARSHEENA (10) was in the money at Wagga when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at Corowa over 4½f two-and-a-half weeks ago. The blinkers go on. Overdue and shapes as a leading chance this line-up. Set Weights EET CHARLIE (6) raced below his best last time when seventh over 4½f at Corowa, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can bounce back. GUTBUSTER (2) is a 16-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 5¼f at Leeton. This isn't as hard so he is sure to prove hard to beat. PERSUASIVE STAR (3) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 4f190yards at Swan Hill after he gave away a big start. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
