Deluxe Rocker, Catmosphere and Chief In Command can all go about injecting some good early pace. DELUXE ROCKER will utilise the inside draw to lead from a handful of others keen to set the tempo. MR HAUSSMANN has been freshened up since failing over 1600m at Canterbury five weeks ago. Had sound Saturday form prior to that run. Waller and Bowman team up which adds to the confidence. Stablemate STAR OF THE SEAS represents the greatest threat after a barnstorming win last time out over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Beaten less than a length by Paret second up last campaign over this course and distance - that form is looking okay now. Group 2 placegetter VERANILLO has been freshened up since an average effort first up at Geelong a month ago. Respect the Godolphin runners when they switch states. BULL MARKET was a better run last start when he stepped out as a gelding for the first time. Might pay to follow. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Bull Market straight out.
