BEIJING BILLY shaped as though he needed this trip when keeping on well into third here last month. He could finally get off the mark for connections. Damned Elusive was only just touched off here last month and she too should appreciate the extra two furlongs. Red Right Sand is another that should have more to offer up in trip.
