Emerging galloper Come Play With Me appears well placed to go back to back when due to contest the final event at Ascot on Saturday.

Trained by Adam Durrant, Come Play With Me really impressed at Northam last start when proving too strong late over the mile.

Having had no luck at Ascot two back behind Three Secrets, Come Play With Me was back to his best when far too good late.

In his fourth straight run between 1500m and a mile, Come Play With Me now appears set to relish the step up in trip and is clearly a galloper heading the right way.

A winner of three of his seven starts, he continues to raise the bar and appears more than capable of beating his older rivals.

From the awkward draw he is likely to get back, but should be very strong late under Smoking Joe Azzopardi.

Do respect the likes of Star Value and Awesome As, however expect Come Play With Me to come out on top.

The Team Williams trained State Solicitor couldn't have been more impressive in his return last start and appears very well placed in the sixth event on Saturday.

West Australia's leading sprinter (barring Rock Magic), State Solicitor appears well on track for his second crack at the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes and should be winning this with ease.

Under the set-weights and penalties conditions he is very well placed and it's easy to mark him deep odds-on.

As much as $1.80 is around which is more than fair - get on!
