Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. EXCEED THE PLANET (7) was very good in Listed company before dropping back and knocking over a Maiden in impressive fashion in his only run last campaign. His recent trial coming in was very strong and he's proven he's right up to this grade. Can storm over the top to win on resumption. ELITEONE (3) is racing well, getting the job done in a photo last start at Belmont. The wide draw is a query, but with a touch of luck in the run he has the class to feature in the finish. SIXINCH HEELS (11) looks a big improver today for a number of reasons. Getting back onto a firm deck is the biggest key and she's unbeaten over this course and distance. Pike's booking suggests she's ready to fire and she can turn her form right around. DEEL HER IN (4) was sound first-up over 1200m at Belmont. May be looking for further now but has the upside and class to feature. PLAYIN'IT SWEET (15) can keep the winning streak alive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exceed The Planet on top in the last.
