A solid tempo on the cards with Cruizingthestars taking charge. OCEAN CHILL (6) is a promising galloper in a top Sydney stable. Resumed with a 1.1 length defeat over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Collett replaces the apprentice and will hit the line hard with the extra fitness. CRUIZINGTHESTARS (10) is also progressive. Seeks the hat-trick off easy wins at Goulburn and stepped up to 1200m the latest. Has been heavily bet and will ride the speed from an inside barrier. Feared. OPEN SECRET (12) resumed in a 72 at Warwick Farm and needed the outing. She's had three outings at Group level, so they have an opinion. The longer sprint suits, and she has plenty to give. JENNI THE JET (4) has her third start since the switch from the Maher yard in Victoria. Went close at Warwick Farm last time and can feature with average luck from a wide gate. HIP HIP OLE (11) resumes for the local Olive yard seeking the hat-trick. Has an awkward gate as well but will be naturally improved. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Ocean Chill.
