Moderate tempo with Time Connection leading the way. TIME CONNECTION (3) sat on the speed and got the job done at Pinjarra last time out and steps up to the mile now. She was favourite there and the mile won't be an issue. Can land in a similar position this time and with further improvement to come, she can win again. SIDE SHOW (1) was in a much stronger race at Ascot last time out and wasn't disgraced there. He was a good winner two back at Belmont and this looks a great race for him. Maps to get every chance and can make his presence felt. WHERE'S MY LUNCH (5) was strong fresh at 1500m here and Hearn replaces the apprentice hoop. He was favourite there and he has the pace to cross from out wide. Fitter now and he can go one better without surprising. NADELL (4) was too good at Esperance last start and she can repeat the dose. PRAY FOR LUCY (7) can be in the mix if he runs up to recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Time Connection can bring up back-to-back wins.
