GOLDSTAR JOBLIN (1) scored by a nose last time (25.59) in a Grade 5 over 457m at Q Lakeside. Has already won four times from this draw. Expected to go close. GOLDSTAR KLEIN (2) steps out for the first time at this course. In the money last start when second (25.56) at Q Lakeside over 457m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Overdue and is among the main hopes. COUNTRY FORM (6) was below latest but prior to that a Mix winner in quick time (25.30) at this track in a Mix. Can improve sharply here. DAM SMOOTH (7) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.32) in a Grade 5, finishing a 17 length seventh. Has never missed the frame from four starts from the draw, including a win. Makes appeal on best.
