Expecting a strong gallop with No Drama and Walking Painting taking up the running over Sosino. Tricky contest with the bulk of these resuming. SCALEXTRICS (9) comes here deep into the campaign and expected to hold a forward position with Lloyd aboard. Sat on the speed in the small field with a respectable third over 1600m at Warwick Farm. Since kept up to the mark with a 1207m tick over trial. Expected to go close. WALKING PAINTING (6) found the 1400m too short first-up with a battling seventh at Warwick Farm in a strong rating contest. Can take control early from the good gate and prove hard to run down. NO DRAMA (1) tough gelding who shouldered the 61kg with a gritty on-pace victory over 1500m at Rosehill. Can slide across from the wide gate and run his usual honest race. SOUNDS UNUSUAL (4) frustrating gelding who can finally put it all together this time in. Can sit off the good tempo and round these up with Grima's claim. Wasn't pushed out in the two trials and gets his chance today. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,6,1,4.
