Genuine tempo from Lucky Crimson leading Parrot Club. THUNDERBOLT WAY (10) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when a neck away in second over 1600m at Kilmore. Won't need to improve much to go one better. BAROSSA VALLEY (1) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1600m at Kilmore. Up in trip suits now and he has upside. BRUTALRULE (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1620m at Donald, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can push on and give a sight. MR VEGAS (7) has been thereabouts in two runs back and should improve now while EPOCH (4) is in the mix again with consistent recent form despite a tough gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunderbolt Way on top.
