#5 CIARON'S STAR
Barrier 3 · Jockey J. Collett · Trainer C. Maher

The market liked her last start, but she ran into Blue Door, who had a fitness edge, and connections then ran Blue Door in The Everest. Her key rivals bring midweek form, while her last four runs have been in Group 2 or Group 3 company. I reckon she's simply too good for 'em.

#7 OCEAN TSUNAMI
Barrier 11 · Jockey Z. Lloyd · Trainer S. Singleton

It's almost Halloween, but we haven't seen a horror show quite like her last start for a while. She was keen in the run and badly held up, even without my glasses I could see she should have won. Zac Lloyd goes on tomorrow, which is a big positive. Hopefully the horror story gets a happy ending.
