Plenty of pace with Lovin' Bev and Flying Billie up front, pressured by Chartwell House and Fast Thinker. LOVIN' BEV (4) led and resumed this trip with a narrow defeat coming off a decent effort at Group level. She has more to offer, and the 3kg claimer will give her an easy steer from an inside barrier. She can go one better. FLYING BILLIE (1) has won her last three at the track and Has been doing it with ease. Keeps getting better. He also runs along, and the 2kg claim remains handy. ADACHI (10) is going well enough to make the finish. He's been kept up to the mark with a nice trial and the top hoop rides today, back some to a sprint. FURNEAUX (2) was back in the winner's circle a month ago. Has the rail and 2kg claim and is in the mix. FIGHTING FLOYD (7) won't be far away, forgiving the latest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lovin' Bev to win.
