Got the punters again last week with a mid-race gallop, but it would pay not to drop Lap It Up (1) just yet. The day everything goes to\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0plan is the day a win comes.

An eye-catching first up effort from Brilliant Chase (3) here in a fresh state when third behind\u00a0<\/span>Sunsoutgunsout<\/span>\u00a0three weeks ago. Better for that run and quiet trial in between times to keep ticking over.
