Solid tempo with Ollie's Secret possessing enough dash to find the front. It has been a while between drinks for OLLIE'S SECRET (2) but the latest effort was encouraging. Raced three-wide on that occasion in open company over this course and distance but kept finding to hold on for third. Gets a dream run from the inside gate and will be peaking at the third run back. READY AND LUCKY (4) was caught on a limb but still finished her race off well to grab second in a BM58 over this track and trip last time out. They went four lengths quicker than the open class race on the same day. Big chance with luck from a wide draw. ANDALE ANDALE (6) was an impressive winner in Class 2 company over this course and distance two back. Lightly raced mare who can win again with a repeat of that effort. Hardy mare MRS BULL (7) has a fine record at or around today's journey. Racing well and should be cherry ripe after three runs back. Lightly raced five-year-old HOLLYWOOD GOLD (3) resumes. In the money at both first-up runs so keep him in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Ollie's Secret.
