STAR COMPASS (11) showed early speed from a good draw last start then battled on well for third, beaten 2. 75 lengths, over 5½f at Murtoa. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. BIG ROOSTER (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 0. 8 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at Hamilton. Improver who looks a major player. SHAYKHLISLAMOVA (7) fought on well for second last start over 6f at Mt Gambier, making it two minor placings in a row. Will find this assignment a little tougher but should be competitive. LADY LONSDALE (12) is a three-start maiden who finished ninth, beaten 3. 5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
