Genuine tempo from On Broadway leading Queen Of Tayrona. PAT'S BRO (1) belted the Maidens here by 2.3L over this trip and then stepped up to a middle distance at Cranbourne in a 64 and found it a step too far. This is much more suitable and he maps for the run of the race. ON BROADWAY (4) is a danger building on his Cranbourne Maiden win over a mile. He will lead or box-seat from an inside barrier, and Newitt stays with the well-bred filly. SPOKEN HEIRESS (7) resumed in solid order, but was plainer at Cranbourne following. Strips fitter and will likely appreciate the step-up in distance. She's been kept on the fresh side and is in the mix. FULMEN FILOU (6) over-raced at Sale, and as advised, the blinkers come off. He's third up now and has pieces of form that would see him around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Pat's Bro.
