Aerostern Bro should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. TOKYO QUEEN (4) come back in trip fourth-up in what looks a winnable race. Found wanting in the straight with a tiring fourth over 2000m at Mudgee. Well in with Stiff's 2kg claim and expected to go close. LANDMARK LADY (9) best performance in fifteen starts with a tough on-pace second over 1890m at Newcastle. Maps well and doesn't have to improve much to win this. HEEZA STEVE (8) has struggled in all three runs this prep and finds an easier test from the good draw. Went out quickly and had little left in the tank with a wilting eighth over 1600m at Wyong. Finds an easier race and worth thought. AEROSTERN BRO (5) just over six weeks between runs with a plugging fourth over 1400m at Canberra. Ready for this journey from the good gate. Keep safe. CELEMAN ZOR (7) had excuses after missing the start on debut at Wellington. Blinkers can do the trick over the extra ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tokyo Queen has genuine each-way prospects.
