Rapid Rock is expected to lead at a keen tempo. GOLDEN DORE (2) was slowly away and got a long way back over 1300m last start, but rattled home in quick time to just miss by 1L. Expecting a much cleaner getaway today, so he can sit closer and launch his attack. Has plenty of upside and can go one better now if he runs up to what the sectionals hinted at. DON'T TRUST JUDAS (6) gets the blinkers on first time today following a nice trial coming into this. He was good in wet ground last campaign and hits his first dry track for over a year. CJP's booking adds confidence and he's sure to be in the finish. ON PATROL (1) can peak now third-up into the campaign and dropping back to a CL1. Gaerth's claim comes in handy and if he can build on his first two efforts this time in, he'll take beating. ROMMEO (8) can race well on the fresh side following a handy trial recently. SOUTHERN SCANDAL (10) was a good winner fresh and can build on that performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Golden Dore on top.
