Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Owari. Cannot rule any of the eight runners out. HOLLYWOOD HERO (1) started in the red and looked the winner when he hit the front at the top of the lane but didn't finish off last start over this course and distance. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and gets his chance to atone. OWARI (8) won first-up at Kembla then worked over from a wide alley to race handy but found nothing last time out over the mile at Newcastle. Gets some nice weight relief today and Schiller back aboard is significant - he is 2/3 on this four-year-old. STAND ASIDE (9) led all the way and was impressive first-up at Warwick Farm. Much harder here but should give some cheek. BALTIC COAST (2) faces his easiest assignment this prep and can turn things around. CHEVRON (5) is racing through the grades nicely this prep and is capable of chalking up the hat trick here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hollywood Hero to score.
