Galaxy Star was a $15 chance when initial markets were posted and has never missed a place in 12 career starts including nine wins.

There will be a strong eastern state presence in the race with Darren Weir saddling up leading chances Peaceful State and Iconoclasm.
There has been support for 2016 VRC Derby winner Priced Icon to break his long run of outs.
