Strong early tempo with Parch and Rebels leading the way. GLENFINNAN (1) is a lightly raced type who resumed off a seven-month spell at Pakenham and ran well, condition just giving out late after showing speed but sticking on well for second. He drops 2.5kg given the slight rise in class but will strip fitter and can go one better. PARCH (2) is racing well, a maiden winner at Yarra Valley two back before just being nosed out at Seymour over 1422m. He's speedy, the last 100m might be a query but he should get every chance to run it out. REBELS (4) is a lightly raced three-year-old for the in-form Begg yard, sticking on well at Mornington in a Class 1 last time out. Up in trip now should be suitable and he maps well. KENTAHTEN (5) is stuck on one win from 26 starts but has been close up of late and can figure. THE DAILY PLANET (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Glenfinnan to win.
