Just For Marcus and Bad Man to set a strong tempo joined by Bad Man pushing on. BAD MAN (7) had a very tough run here 4 weeks ago and understandably weakened in the run home. He has a better draw this time, and Jarrod Todd will replace an apprentice. A form reversal is expected. REVOLUTION RISING (1) fought on well enough for fifth here a week ago and slides down in class here. He cops a wide gate, but with the aid of a 2kg claim, he can bounce straight back into the money. Each way. THE GIRL'S BOY (2) has not had all the favours in his last couple of starts and drops back from 1400m to 1200m for this suitable assignment. Stick with him. JUST FOR MARCUS (5) won fresh up at Darwin when leading all the way but was unable to find the front here last week and finished out of the money. He is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bad Man to win.
