From a wide gate Rock In Wonder has the speed to cross and lead a low-pressure affair. FANCY RED (4) won twice and has been narrowly beaten here in her last two. The gun hoop stays aboard, and he will run her along from the inside barrier. The one to beat. SURF PATROL (2) peaks and a win is close. His near miss and Belmont two back reads well, and Chris Parnham rides today. Expect the longer sprint to suit. AZENA (3) also rates well enough, and the in-form Fiore rides for the first time. Won well at Scarpside two back and a bounce isn't out of the question. STATE OF FURY (7) surprised the market beaten 1.2L at Bunbury. Finally draws a low barrier and fitter can't be ruled out. PRECIOUS GOD (5) tumbles in grade and is worth a look. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fancy Red.
