Moderate pace from Road To The City taking it up with Strong Minded and The Punk Rocker on his back. MAJESTIC FURY (8) looked good at the trials before being a beaten favourite on debut at Mildura after missing the kick and running on too late to finish runner-up. She will naturally improve from that experience, and the extra 292m will make her the one to beat. Follow your money. STRONG MINDED (3) has been in good form through the winter on wet tracks, finishing runner-up in his last 3 starts. He has a kind draw, and as long as the tracks remain wet, he will be very competitive again. WILLEBOB (5) only battled fresh up in his first run as a gelding, and he will don the blinkers for the first time, second up from a spell. Expect something a lot better here. Each-way. VELOCITY ROSE (10) met some trouble fresh up when bottled up on the inside, and once clear, she hit the line nicely. She won a trial before that, and with the blinkers applied, she can figure in the top 3. SUGGESTED PLAY: Majestic Fury can win this.
