Rocket Commander should push forward and take up the lead in this company. Most of these have tactical speed. Rocket Commander will use the draw to be there with Miss Rose De Lago fast enough to cross her and lead them if they choose. Should be good pressure for positions early. SILENT SEDITION just missed first up from a break but that run can bring her on and have her perfectly placed to peak and win here. Very consistent and still a mare with plenty of upside. MISS ROSE DE LAGO is lacking for upside but she's got to be respected coming back to mares company and the market may underestimate her off a well held first up run. Far easier here. THAMES COURT was rock solid first up. Silent Sedition may narrowly have her measure but she is good enough to keep her right up to her mark. Step up in class for Domino Vitale but she has earned her crack in this company with good winning form over the summer and no shock to see her right in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silent Sedition straight out.
