Pharoah Show, Lillian and True Player will push to ahead and set a solid tempo. TRUE PLAYER (2) was just too good for his rivals last start, rounding them up and staying on to the line, scoring by 1.2L. Up in weight here, but he shouldn't be as far off them from the better draw and he's expected to be better again out in trip. Can bring up the hat-trick. LILLIAN (1) couldn't fend off True Player last time out but does meet him better at the weights today. She has enough early speed to roll across from the tricky draw and it wouldn't surprise to see her turn the tables. AUDIO BOY (4) is racing in great order without winning, being right in the finish throughout this campaign. He'll need some luck from the draw, but he rates highly on recent form and won't be far away again. PHAROAH SHOW (5) looks a big improve third-up and out to this trip for the first time. This is tougher than what he's been racing in but it wouldn't surprise to see him return to winning ways. MANZOR MAGIC (10) can feature on his best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: True Player can win again.
