Rock Ya can cross over and Blue Ray will also run along from further in. MANNERHEIM (6) is a Waller-trained improver who has been narrowly beaten both his starts this preparation at short quotes. Maloney stays aboard and the barrier isn't quite as challenging after scratchings. He has the blinkers applied again and presenting fitter will be hard to roll. BLUE RAY (2) hasn't had the best of it since the 1L defeat at Eagle Farm over a mile. Was swamped late on a heavy track last start and will appreciate a less demanding surface. Expect him to lead or box seat and get every chance to return to the winner's list. NEW LEVEL (3) was beaten 1L here second-up and is still to test his best Victorian form. Keeps Orman and tipping he'll manage the step up in distance. Go well. TOKYO BANDIT (5) peaks and has been looking for this distance. Has the 2kg claim and deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mannerheim appeals most.
