Strong tempo primarily from Aratiri, Antonito and Hollywood Epic over Simply Excels and Eastown. Competitive contest. ANTONITO (3) returned in fine fashion with a strong Eagle Farm victory and has a win and a second from just two attempts around this circuit. Drawn to sit up on speed from the inside marble and should give backers a sight. The lightly-raced SIMPLY EXCELS (8) is the runner in this field with the most upside and has to be included in calculations. HOLLYWOOD EPIC (7) is yet to miss a drum in eight career efforts and is a must for the exotics players. ROTHESAY'S LAD (5) strips fitter third-up and may earn some minor money from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Antonito to go back-to-back to start the preparation.
