Abundant pace from Kingsboy, Holy Star and Time In Paris vying for the lead with Hollywood Heiress on their backs. MFETHU (2) has produced two good runs to date. He showed good speed over this course and distance last time but found one too good on the day. He is a progressive type and he may be the one to beat. HOLY STAR (1) has been costly to follow in his last two starts. He was reported to have over reached in his last outing on the polytrack. He has scope and if keeping on a straight line, he should throw out a big challenge to the top choice. CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS (9) stayed on well when third over this course and distance last time. Has each-way claims. HOLLYWOOD HEIRESS (4) is back after a break of four months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1400m at Greyville. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Greyville over 1400m. Rates highly on best figures and should be fighting out the finish.
