GOING: G

Wolf Blass Patron Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1750m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo with Rokabye Warrior and Havaduel leading the way. VEE ROD (7) is yet to strike through this campaign but is knocking on the door and gets a good chance to bust through. Peak fitness now and gets in well with the claim. Ready. MUFFLA (5) sets up nicely for this fourth-up and finally reunites with his mate Dom Tourneur, who knows him very well. Hasn't won for a long time but boasts a strong record over this journey. ROKABYE WARRIOR (1) is proving tough to catch but was back somewhere near his best at Lock when sticking on gamely into second. Carries the big weight but can play a major role on the quick back-up. GRINZINGER ALLEE (8) hasn't been as effective of late but his earlier form this prep measures up. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Vee Rod.
