Up And Comer to take charge ahead of Jimmy Nails at a good tempo. Looks a wide-open contest. DEMARCAY (1) is a two-time winner over this track and trip, gets 2kg off with the claim and is drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside marble. Ticks plenty of boxes for a race like this. LOVEY DOVEY (10) has been right there at the past few outings and will be rock-hard fit for this 2150m contest. Her only win came around this circuit and must be respected out of the champion Waller yard. Expected to play a role. GOOD PHILLY (6) placed over this course and distance two back before hitting the frame in town at the latest effort. Has to be included. UP AND COMER (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Demarcay.
