Genuine tempo with Everything Counts leading the way. DE LA ROCHA (6) was beaten a neck on resumption at Mornington over 1000m and appears to have come back better. His form last time in was over this sort of trip so expect improvement with that run under the belt. ROADCONE (2) couldn't have been much more impressive first-up at Seymour when winning by nearly 4 lengths. The extra trip should only suit better. EVERYTHING COUNTS (1) is having his first run in Australia and must be respected for the top stable. RICH AND JOYFUL (7) should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: De La Rocha each-way.
