Abundant early pace from Apache Star, Longer Route and France's Boy vying for the lead with Vee Rod on their backs.
The freewheeling LONGER ROUTE (3) has been in outstanding form this prep. Made it two wins in a row last start when he shared the lead into the straight then extended in great style to score over 1550m on the Parks track. Tackling a slightly better race today but he can get the job done again. STRATUM PRIDE (7) added to a frustrating run of minor placings when she worked home late to get up for third last Saturday over 1550m on the Parks circuit. Very effective miler who will be about the money again. DUVACH (4) settled back in a small field before making some late inroads over 1500m at Ballarat recently. Fitter for two runs back from a long spell and the blinkers coming off for this slightly longer trip may be significant. LOMAX (9) returned to form last start with an eye-catching effort at Murray Bridge. Will give away a start but watch for him late. CULLEN SKINK (2) appreciated the step up in distance and drop in class last time. In the mix again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Longer Route.
