Solid tempo set by Quebeck and Paramount Plus. CASHOUT (13) resumes. He showed ability in three runs last time in, winning his maiden at start two. Jamie Melham goes on from a good gate and he can measure up with natural improvement in his second campaign. SAVANNAH CHILL (10) is racing well, a dominant winner at big odds here two back and good again last time to back it up. She'll be very hard to hold out. BANKNOTE HUSTLER (1) did beat Savannah Chill home here last time, starting slightly longer. Tricky draw but should take beating. TITAN OF CHOICE (5) is coming off a win here in easier and warrants respect from PARAMOUNT PLUS (3) who is flying on this surface and should take beating again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cashout on top.
