Rosador looks the pacesetter. KUTTAMURRA AL is racing in a rich vein of form and hard to knock again. He was knocked off when attempting three straight wins at Doomben last start. This is easier and despite the sharp drop in trip he deserves favouritism. ROSADOR was slightly disappointing at Ballina last start but perhaps didn't run the trip out . Form prior was solid and expect an improved performance from her. FUTURE EVENT scored a deserving win here last start and can measure-up. Rosador can find the front ahead of Stellar Jewel then Bar Fly Barrister at a modest clip. KUTTAMURRA AL has never raced better and he looks the clear top pick despite coming back in distance this afternoon. Won two straight over 1625m then 2000m before running on stoutly to finish runner up over 2220m at Doomben most recently. Very fit gelding who has placed 2/2 at this trip and will be very strong through the line. ROSADOR lost her spot in running last start but rallied late to get within 2.4L of the winner over 1900m at Ballina. Should press forward here and back a touch in trip looks ideally placed. FUTURE EVENT closed hard to get up just in time over this course and distance last start. Up a little in grade today but is a 3YO with scope to improve. GLEN ORD is crying out for this trip and looks certain to figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kuttamurra Al gets the nod.
