Expecting Luskin Hero to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. Plenty of moving parts to consider here. BOY BIG (2) won nicely last start and, making it two from his last three. He loves this track and trip, and looks well placed to grab another win. GRINZINGER LASS (6) is a filly making plenty of right moves and was only narrowly pipped at the post last start. Don't be surprised to see her go one better here. DR VENKMAN (4) has been given a freshen up and should be poised to run a big race today. CHUCKAMICKY (3) missed out on a hat-trick last start but needs to be kept safe on what she's produced so far this campaign. JAMAICAN GOLD (7) looms as the next best, but realistically only for the place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Let's stick with BOY BIG to make it three wins from his last four.
