With no obvious leader on paper, Turbulent may be the one to take up the running. WORX (2) has been racing well with big weights this time in and finds the ideal draw. Pay to follow now. TURBULENT (4) clocked good late sectionals first up and should appreciate a longer trip. In similar company has winning claims. RAPT (6) fought on well first up off a lengthy break and finds another handy draw. Form lines look solid for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Worx win.
