CAST OF STARS could appreciate the return to the polytrack and with a decent claimer aboard, we reckon that at the prices he is worthy of interest having placed off similar marks in the past. Aphrodisia is well treated versus her turf form though a closer perusal at the formlines indicates the reason for the disparity. Green Wadi has a good draw to work from and appears to be in good heart at present. Charming Man makes a handicap debut having placed in maiden company. Crystal Celebre is in a similar position and on breeding this 1m4f should suit. Eseej needs no introduction to followers of the all-weather scene and at least the handicapper seems to be finally relenting having had him off marks in the 70's up until recently. Spensley seems best of the rest.
