Harwoods Star beat Pabusar by half-a-length over course and distance last week with Under Approval and IMJIN RIVER close up in third and fourth. But the winner now has a penalty to contend with and the latter pair are better drawn this time so come right into contention. We'll go with William Stone's charge as he remains very well handicapped on his best form at the track and attracted market support seven days ago. College Doll also ran in last week's race but would have to improve to take a hand in the finish while Kuanyao appears to have lost the plot. Meebo hasn't shown much lately either.
