Youcompleteme to take charge ahead of French Empire at a solid tempo. SHE'S GOT LYRICS (8) wasn't too far away at Toowoomba when resuming and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Ideally drawn for Allen in gate three and must be respected from the Gollan yard. Strikes a winnable contest here and looks very hard to toss. FRENCH EMPIRE (4) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but had hit the top-five in all six starts prior. Can return to form against this line-up. JEDIAH (15) has been thereabouts in all three runs this campaign and gets in light with the claim. Worth including. YOUCOMPLETEME (3) put in a career-best performance when resuming and looks to have turned the corner now. One for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Got Lyrics to break through.
