The form of BETTERTHANAROCKET (8) so far this prep has been most impressive, making it two from two when successful at his latest appearance by close to 10 metres. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane is in play. Can land the hat trick. MAJOR JELLIS (1) hasn't missed the top four since switching to Queensland, last time coming from the back row for third. The ace draw gives him the chance to break through. ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance. ALTA EQUUS (2) has chased Betterthanarocket home in his last two starts, the latest when second from a wider draw. Include.
