Genuine pace with Divine Fire, Burning Bright and Jamrock leading the way. Not the most inspiring race on the card but several horses capable of sharp improvement. One of them is HARLEY'N'ROSE (6) who was only fair last start. His prior form this campaign, including a win in a similar race at Murray Bridge, puts him right in the picture. He's drawn low and will be finishing hard. RABTAT (1) is on the quick back-up, having won narrowly last Saturday. He's a quirky horse but he's got plenty of talent and he might be able to hold his form. BURNING BRIGHT (5) went very close to an overdue win behind Rabtat last week. With the weight swing and the good draw, she can turn the tables and finish in the money. The best Victorian form from PLATINUM DESTROYER (3) can measure up, while WHATSANAMEGEORGE (8) did enough first-up and will likely improve up in distance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Harley'n'rose and Rabtat each-way.
