Many of these have the speed to be prominent so a genuine tempo is anticipated. ROCK REVOLUTION (2) led them up over this course and distance 34 days ago and was too good, winning by 1.3L. He looks well placed again third-up into the campaign and from a good draw. Tougher here but he rates highly off that effort and he can bring up back-to-back victories. MAXXI BON (4) returned to the Nash barn last start and was left behind over the shorter 1300m journey. He drops back in class here with the rise to the mile suited him much better. Shouldn't be too far off them with the small field and he can bounce back to winning ways. AWASH (1) was 2L off the winner last time out in tougher grade after being there to strike in the run. Should get every chance off the inside and he'll take beating if he can find the front. CAPITOL HILL (3) is better than he's shown his past couple and can improve. NEW ENTERPRISE (5) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rock Revolution gets the nod.
