Good early pressure with Chartwell House and Sushi Express vying for the lead. Tricky. CHARTWELL HOUSE (3) has switched from the top Victorian barn on a 30-day return. Brings strong figures from tougher races and he will position forward from a handy barrier. Newitt's booking suggests he's pleasing the new stable. FAKE MAGIC (2) deserved the 68 win here and then tackled Open grade at Hobart and was plainer albeit well supported. On an 8-day backup and maps better today. He can bounce. SUSHI EXPRESS (8) resumes and is up to this if presented fit. He races on-pace and goes well this course and distance. The 5x winning rider is back aboard. ZOLTAN (4) has switched from a Victorian yard on a 32-day return and rates well. Gives away starts but has to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Chartwell House.
