Tango On is expected to lead at a strong tempo. WHOA NELLIE (8) first-up after five months she demolished inferior opposition with a tidy win over 1300m at Illawarra Grange. Can go on with it this time in and will relish the conditions on her home track. TAKE FLIGHT (9) fourth-up for this and looks well placed with Chambers' claim. Can race a touch closer today and shapes as a genuine top-three player. BUTTON UP (6) hard in the market last start when he lost the rider over 1200m at Canberra. Drops in weight and his lone victory came on a heavy track. Improver. OCEAN EMPRESS (12) got off the mark in good style second-up over 1100m at Goulburn. Should handle the rise in trip and class at the each way odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whoa Nellie and Take Flight should fight it out.
