Shalaa Gold can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Shalaa Gold likely to find himself in front. Promising Waller-trained filly KILONOVA (4) resumed here over 1200m a fortnight ago and looked like getting the chocolates only to be outgunned on the line. Fitter for that run and nicely placed over this slightly shorter trip. Clearly the one to beat. Consistent gelding MAL COUPE (5) has earned his crack in town after four fine performances this time in work, the latest a tidy win in a BM68 over this distance at Hawkesbury. Racing well under Winona Costin who retains the ride. Right in contention. OLUFSEN (3) has not appeared since scoring on debut over this trip at Wyong eighteen weeks ago. Two sound trials should have him primed for a positive return. Recent trial winner SHALAA GOLD (2) is a strong fresh performer who cannot be ruled out first-up from a six-month absence. MAQUISA (8) was strong through the line here last time. Placed four from seven and should be highly competitive again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Kilonova.
