HEIR APPARENT (6) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a head last time out over 5f at Kempsey. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. POWER OF THE BRAVE (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on August 21 finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 6f at Sunshine Coast. Expect him to play a major role. RUSH HOUR (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Wyong, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has a solid second up record. Faces an easier assignment so he can play a big role. SHIHAB (3) finished second last time over 5f at Kempsey when resuming from a lay-off, beaten a head. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
