Parrot Club should lead and control the tempo. A tough contest to assess with maidens stepping up to a staying trip. BAUDIN (13) peaks and hasn't been enjoying the best of luck over middle distances. Is looking for this trip now and John Allen is a positive jockey booking. Gets the nod. JANEY BOPPER (14) is third-up and also gives every indication this journey will suit. Was tried at monster odds over 2500m in the Group 1 Crown Oaks at Flemington before the spell. Spoiled things with a slow start at Stawell against the above last time and Meech goes on. RAINEY (11) also presents third-up and is showing enough to suggest he can get some of the money. Finished it off okay over 2000m at Kilmore last time and profiles as if the longer journey will agree. Stablemate SHAW CAN FLY (9) is hard-fit and is likely to show more. TULCHAN (6) led them up beaten 3L over 2400m at Swan Hill and is sure to improve off that. Ran better numbers this distance range his last preparation and keep onside at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Baudin.
