Ho | 9 | 18 | 16 | 4.4 | Star Form:Notched a second win when successful in March over the Valley mile in Class Four. Never likely four times over the 1,400m to start this season, then had excuses in a mile failure at this level. Trip's a query. --2 |

Shinn | 3 | 16 | 14 | 3.2 | Star Form:Made a nice impression in his opening three Valley runs this term, including two thirds, then out-dashed Romantic Journey from behind midfield for a win over the Valley 1,800m. A past C&D winner off a similar mark. --4 |

PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Reeve's Muntjac responded well to get up 30m out from midfield for an upset win over this C&D latest following the addition of a nose band. He's holding his condition well and a repeat win from a good gate won't surprise. Wicker has shown life signs this term, including a speed-chasing fourth to Young Glory over the Valley 2,200m when last stepping out in late-October. He's drawn to get all favours and can figure in the finish. Golden Kid just out-finished rival Romantic Journey for a win 18-days back over the Valley 1,800m after placings in two of three other starts this term and has proven C&D form. He should map well and can make his presence felt despite carrying co-top weight. Virtus Star was badly held up early straight and got cleaned up 200m out in a luckless fourth to Golden Kid latest over the Valley 1,800m. He likely has a bottom in sight and will have Zac Purton to offset a wide gate.
TROUBLE IN RUNNING
