Strong tempo with Iberian Lynx and Terracotta Rose leading the way over Prince Of Brooky. IBERIAN LYNX (2) resumes off close-up placings here and at Bendigo and will be naturally improved. Has two Flemington jumpouts under the saddle and McNeil sticks from those. He's the one to beat on what we've seen. LIVE (8) debuts and has been well prepared at the Cranbourne jumpouts. She's bred to be good and Jamie Melham's booking suggests she's pleasing. Feared. TERRACOTTA ROSE (9) will use an inside gate and keeps Dee. Strips fitter and second-up can stick on better for a leading stable. HELLFIRE BAY (5) didn't enjoy a deep track on debut. John Allen rides and it won't surprise to see quick improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Iberian Lynx with the race form/experience.
