Handy mare Serene Star looks a terrific winning chance when she steps out in the fifth heat of the All Victorian Sprint Series at Flemington this weekend.

Koonoomoo will look to follow up a maiden black type placing last start by going one better in the $120,000 BC3 Thoroughbreds Black Pearl at Geelong on Wednesday.
