Genuine pace with Mimi's taking up the running ahead of Fernweh and Populism. FERNWEH (2) stalked the pace then let down nicely but found the winner a shade too strong when resuming over 1100m at this track last start. Joe Pride has him back in good shape and the extra 100m plays perfectly into his hands. MIMI'S (7) had her chance but was no match for a dominant winner over 1100m at Wyong last time out. Gets some nice weight relief today to take on the boys and she should be spot on now at the third run back from a spell. OBSIDIAN DREAM (8) battled on fairly but was never a threat first-up in the same race as Fernweh here recently. Sparingly raced filly who should improve as she gets out a little in distance. POPULISM (10) has not appeared since disappointing on debut over this journey at Wyong two months ago. Trialled well since and is capable of a lot more. PEACE BIRD (9) is in the mix second-up. Beaten a whisker over today's distance at Warwick Farm at the same stage last prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Fernweh.
