Genuine tempo from Rock Revolution leading Grinzinger Bishop. Good race with several chances but if CRAZY TOWN (7) presents on song he will be tough to beat. Former Victorian with upside but is a winner at 1400m and a mile from five runs. Comes here for the new yard off a let-up but trialled last month in Victoria. Trip suits and with early pace looks well suited here off the low draw and with the claim. Expected to measure up. MAXXI BON (4) is yet to win in Darwin but has been close to breaking through. Was midfield in the far rover Alice Springs Cup three back then not beaten far in two runs since. The mile suits now and gets a chance to find form. ROCK REVOLUTION (5) goes well over this course and distance and will take catching. ICHIBAN (1) is long overdue and looks a strong top-three hope. VANGUARD LEGEND (2) will find this far easier than the Alice Springs Cup and can atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Crazy Town fresh.
