Verdict

MAKE ME A STAR (15) was a barnstorming maiden winner two back and then showed her versatility at Gawler when sent forward, only to miss narrowly. Carries a featherweight with the claimer sticking and is at peak fitness now. Will take plenty of beating. SAN LUCIDO (14) had no luck last time, trapped wide without cover. Capable of a much better run on the quick back-up and worth another chance. CHUR NIBBLE (6) justified the short quote last start when putting his rivals away with ease. Still has plenty of upside and can go on with it. MAXXI BON (4) doesn't win often but his peaks measure up. Draws well and can make his presence felt. BONA FIDE STAR (16) mixes his form but has genuine claims if he brings his best. Gets in light and is worth keeping safe.
