Solid tempo likely from Silver Top Ridge and Morisu Dori. DRONE ATTACK (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth over 1400m at Pakenham four weeks ago. Will relish the step back in grade, just needs a touch of luck from the widish draw. SUSSEX DUCHESS (8) didn't do a bad job to finish half a length away in second last start over 1100m at Pakenham. That followed a first-up win at Geelong. Best figures measure up and she's drawn beautifully with Harry Coffey to ride. LEGACY ROSE (2) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 1400m at Wangaratta. That followed a couple of nice runs in 62 grade, so no reason she won't feature again from a favourable alley. CHOCOLATE BOX (3) has trialled since the latest run, when she was heavily-backed, so might be worth keeping an eye on the market again. BAKED (5) got the campaign off to a perfect start last time and rises in grade here but might have matured now and can go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Drone Attack each-way.
