Most are thoroughly exposed though STAR OF ARIA is an exception. The latter went close at Newcastle last time and further progress looks likely now handicapping. Lipsink placed here between moderate efforts on Turf while Giogiobbo won over a longer trip earlier and Coup De Force has won twice on Turf. Street Life scored over track and trip in August while Expert Opinion debuts for a new yard with a chance and Pepper Streak could also go well.
