Genuine pace with Sukhbir finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. KIND WISH (3) stuck on game for fourth in a far stronger field than this at Eagle Farm 11 days ago, finishing just over a length from the winner. If she can repeat that effort here, then she is the one to beat. HOLLYWOOD EPIC (2) won a trial prior to finishing third fresh up at Beaudesert. She was not far from the winner at Ipswich 16 days ago, and should be spot-on with her fitness for this suitable assignment. Jett Newman takes 2kg off his back, and the pair merits healthy respect. PROPONENT (8) had a tough trip from a wide gate at the Sunshine Coast 9 days ago, after some good form before that. With a kinder trip, he can bounce straight back into the money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kind Wish can take this out.
