3:25am - THE STAR MILE | 1600m | | i

Plenty of promising 4yos line up in the Star Mile. LUBITON a likely leader from HANGIN' WITH WILLY with HARPER'S CHOICE (will be ridden quieter) in the box seat and DARK EYES moving up (forecast: FAIR to STEADY). Waller has a bunch of progressive 4yos down in the weights that loom as big winning chances. INVINCIBELLA (well backed, big win first-up), OKLAHOMA GIRL (ran on hard, wants strong tempo or wet track?) and JAMINZAH (in flying form, better to 1600m) all on the way up. SOUCHEZ has solid open grade form that gives him an each-way chance. LUBITON at least a place chance getting the right run. HARPER'S CHOICE trialled OK but probably wanted more rain around Saturday morning. HARPER’S CHOICE Blinkers FIRST TIME. [updated 8:34am]
