Billie Bronx should kick up and set a genuine tempo joined by Detoron pressing on from the wide draw. HEADPHONES (1) was brave when resuming, narrowly missing after racing handy throughout. Fitter now and is drawn much kinder. With a solid second-up record, she looks the one to beat. KATIM'S CLUB (3) is flying with back-to-back wins and showed real tenacity last time. Hard to knock her winning form and rates highly again on the quick back-up. ANDREW'S MEMORY (2) was slightly disappointing last start at Oakbank when sent out favourite. Will appreciate the slight drop in grade and can easily get things back on track, but will need a smart steer from Neindorf out there. ALLEGEDLY (5) went down narrowly at Strathalbyn and with similar form here, can certainly feature again. Must take seriously. SUGGESTED PLAY: Headphones to win.
