Genuine pace with Revolutionary Star finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. REVOLUTIONARY STAR (5) settled just off the pace then showed great determination to get up by a long neck when resuming over 1100m at this track last start. In the right stable and has a stack of room to improve at just his third appearance. Ready for this tougher assignment. HELLOVA NATURE (6) went back then really motored late but just ran out of time over this course and distance last time out. Goes back again from a wide gate but with good speed up front he is one to watch for late in proceedings. COOL LAD (7) was shuffled back before flying late to miss by just half a length when resuming over 1100m at Mudgee recently. Meets some better types today but strips fitter and gets some welcomed weight relief. IN LIMBO (9) led but found one better at the end of 1300m at Wyong last start. Going well and should be in the firing line for a long way. HARLEX (1) disappointed at Wyong last time but has been freshened up and races well here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Revolutionary Star to take out the last.
