River Of Stars Information
Does one run cancel the rest of the prep, which was pretty poor. Yes, very good in the Caulfield Cup, down in the weights, think 3200m is okay for her…just can’t see her winning. Another that is a top ten contender, a rough place chance.

Key Replay: Caulfield Cup, October 18 2025, Caulfield, Good Surface
Had a suck run nearer the inside and bludged in the run, getting out in the straight and looming but had no answer for the finale of Half Yours. She was nearer the inside lanes, which was clearly inferior ground for the meeting, so she gets a tick in that regard.
