Pace strong from Zarastro leading Freedom Rally. MILLANE (14) gets in well at the weights here. Absolutely savaged the line late at Eagle Farm at the latest effort and looks ready to go on with the job now. Drawn to get a suck run for Dee from gate three and rates the testing material. YELLOW BRICK (4) is the class galloper of the field but we haven't seen him since failing in the Silver Eagle last spring. Could be saluting if anywhere near his best. FREEDOM RALLY (7) resumes but the form shown last campaign was full of merit. May run a race while fresh. THE BIG GOODBYE (1) has the big weight to contend with but always has to be included. NETTUNO (6) strips fitter second-up from the break and can fill the frame. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 14,4,7,1.
