SELECTIONS: STAR TO FALL (3), TALERN LOFTY (7), ISOLATION (10), NEW YORKER (9)

OVERVIEW: STAR TO FALL (3) looks a really progressive filly for Craig Turnbull and she heads to this assignment on the back of an unlucky fifth in the NSW Oaks heats behind Willows Girl. She was held up in the home straight there, but surged through the line when clear in what was a great effort. Last campaign, she won a heat and semi-final of the Vicbred Super Series and only good horses can do that. Happy her way. TALERN LOFTY (7) led and won a handy race at Melton last time out and David Miles might just be aggressive again from out wide, ISOLATION (10) went back-to-back with big wins at Melton before being caught parked and battling away bravely to only be beaten 3.7m last weekend by The Steel Dragon, while NEW YORKER (9), USYK (8), FIRE MARSHALL (6) and KING CASEY (1) are among the host of chances.

BACK: STAR TO FALL (3) – 2 units (win)
