Expecting Poshy's Girl to take up the running with Royal Botanic and Turning Circle close at hand. BROADWAY FOLLIES (4) returned after almost a year off the scene with an eye-catching second over 1200m at Gosford last time out, beaten just a length. Strips a lot fitter this time around and an extra 100m down this long straight looks a perfect set-up. TURNING CIRCLE (11) recorded a tenth minor placing when beaten a neck over 1400m at this track last start. Continues to race well deep into the prep and although she is a bit camera shy this looks a winnable race. POSHY'S GIRL (9) was rewarded for consistency with the narrowest of maiden wins recently over 1200m at this track. Lightly raced mare who has the talent to go to the next level. NOSEY PARKER (8) hasn't saluted in ages but is a four-time winner at Newcastle so he can never be ruled out here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Broadway Follies.
