|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo anticipated with Beaux Rumble and Majorelle pressing forward with My Snow Queen not far away. JOHN RAMBO (8) has returned in fine fashion stringing back-to-back wins together and is racing with a lot of confidence this time in work. Harley has been in the saddle for both victories and sticks. Can continue the rich vein of form. METALART (2) grows a leg for jockey Rodd who has six wins and a placing from just seven steers. Revved up for this with a recent Doomben trial and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. MAJORELLE (6) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on and is in the mix along with BEAUX RUMBLE (10) who hasn't shown much recently but could improve here. SUGGESTED PLAY: John Rambo to bring up the hat-trick.
