A solid tempo is anticipated with Monakeed and Dual Mastery kicking up to hold out the next wave. RUSTY TYCOON (6) finished 3.5 lengths adrift in sixth last time at Doomben over 1640m. Had been within range the three prior, also in stronger Maidens. Has the blinkers applied for the first time and Ben Thompson is a key jockey engagement. MONAKEED (3) is a leader and a likely threat. Was nudged out at Eagle Farm and here following ($2.4F) and tackles this distance for the first time. Has a handy 2kg claim, and she will take some pegging back. DUAL MASTERY (2) is knocking on the door following his narrow defeat over 1720m at Grafton. This is a bit tougher but will position forward and he can get into the finish. EVADE THE GAME (12) was much better over 1600m at the Sunshine Coast last time and will get a soft run from the inside barrier. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Rusty Tycoon.
