Despite the small field Media Coverage, Hardhead and Ischyros can set a strong tempo. ISCHYROS (4) made it five minor placings in succession when he wound up late but ran out of ground over 1000m at Goulburn last start. Better placed out to today's trip and with any luck from the awkward draw he can finally open his account. DIVINE BELLE (5) last raced when just outside the placings at Warren in July. Has not trialled publicly leading into this but she must be included based on her best figures from the last preparation. The best recent effort of MEDIA COVERAGE (1) came here at this trip three back. Worth considering with a few gear changes today. HARDHEAD (3) is back from a spell of four months and placed in a recent trial. Watch the markets. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving Ischyros one more chance.
