Expecting About Turn to take up the running with Playing Free and Sponge Cake close at hand. BILLIONAIRE'S ROW (2) showed talent in a short initial prep, and he would have only gone the right way over his spell as evidenced by a recent Lark trial win where he still had plenty of improvement to come in his condition. He should be sharp enough fresh up to sprint a good 1400m, so we have him on top. PLAYING SOLO (11) was a beaten favourite fresh up at Belmont and then scored a tough win by a short head at Bunbury nearly 2 weeks ago. A wide draw makes it tougher here, but he will still be fighting out the finish. JEMCONI (7) overcame a tough trip to get in the final stride to score by a nose fresh up at Belmont over 1200m. The extra 200m at this stage of her prep is ideal, and she has the right draw to repeat the dose. HOT CHIX LANE (6) battled away gamely last start for fifth at Belmont when following on from her maiden win there late last month. Keep her safe in all top 4 combos. ONE TARGET (12) was back in form with a solid second here 2 weeks ago. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Billionaire's Row can win this.
