Strong tempo to be established by Villa Castina, Rethink It and Ocean Chill. OCEAN CHILL (7) progressive mare who finds her race fourth-up. Comes out of a strong form race after making good late ground for a narrow second to Chilli Margs over 1400m at Hawkesbury. Maps well and can put these away. SPORTS PAGE (5) solid return when she chipped away late to finish fourth over 1200m at Dubbo. Will appreciate the claim and comes to hand quickly in this easier race. READY AND LUCKY (8) due for a change of luck after finishing in the minor money at her last four starts. Gripped on strongly with a tough on-pace third over 1280m at this track. Genuine top-four prospect. ANTILOCAPRA (9) kept fresh for this. Made sharp improvement from back in the field with a comprehensive win over 1600m at Scone six weeks ago. Gets a better set-up today and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ocean Chill can score a well deserved victory.
