\n

COLLECTIONNEUR (12)<\/strong> is up sharply in\u00a0trip\u00a0but she still showed enough on debut to suggest she can handle it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The daughter to I Am Invincible blew the start upon settling midfield, making up decent ground in the run home though to grab third after moving closer approaching the bend.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019ll\u00a0likely look\u00a0to settle further\u00a0forward\u00a0this time from wider\u00a0out\u00a0and she\u00a0appears to be\u00a0in the right hands under Harry Coffey.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 4 Noble Style <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

NOBLE STYLE (4)<\/strong> has the inside gate working in her\u00a0favour, which could\u00a0count for\u00a0a lot in an open sprint race.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She was strong all the way through\u00a0the line\u00a0two back at Pakenham on the synthetic, finishing only 2.6 lengths off in much tougher company.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not a lot went right at\u00a0Murtoa\u00a0last time out, but back in grade and well weighted thanks to the claim,\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0a serious bounce back candidate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 7 Blacklip <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Each Way<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

BLACKLIP (7)<\/strong> was the beaten\u00a0favourite\u00a0last time out here over further, but this does\u00a0look\u00a0an appealing race coming back in trip.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The son to Blue Point has found it tough to win across 11 career starts, but there was a lot to like about his effort two back when finishing half a length third to Isdell.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The inside\u00a0gate\u00a0is key to his\u00a0chances\u00a0and it helps knowing Declan Bates has some experience in the saddle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 5 Starburst <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

STARBURST (5)<\/strong> is a\u00a0lightly-raced\u00a0mare with a good amount of upside for the McEvoy Team.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She put paid to her rivals over\u00a0100m\u00a0further last time out by\u00a0nearly two\u00a0lengths, shedding the maiden tag in fine style.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0look much tougher\u00a0overall\u00a0and the 2kg claim sees her get in nicely at the weights.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With plenty of early speed, look for her to settle forward early and take catching.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
