Slick pace with Recommendation finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. NEW YORK LUSTRE (6) produced a career peak over this trip in G3 company at Flemington before the break and looks to have returned in terrific order judging by his sharp jump outs. Draws beautifully for B Allen and his fresh record is imposing, so expecting he runs a big race. NIANCE (4) is another noted fresh performer who has also jumped out strongly. Her peaks are stronger than NYL’s but the draw is a headache and tactics will be fascinating. WATCHME WIN (2) is the best of the locals but also cops a wide alley. He was strong fresh behind Super Smink in the G3 R N Irwin and has improvement to come, though Holder will need to be inch perfect. ENUFF SEDUCTION (22) rattled home under a big weight to grab second last start and now gets weight relief with the rise in grade. If they overdo it up front she can be the one flashing late. LOSESOMEWINMORE (11) is talented but will need luck from the draw and if he sees daylight at the right time he can make things interesting. SUGGESTED PLAY: New York Lustre to win. Keeping an eye on Enuff Seduction at long odds.
