Slick tempo with Rock Revolution to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Best race on the card with plenty of these in form. STORMFRONT (1) was beaten by a space behind the dominant winner last time finishing second and looks well placed here back in grade. Will surely be improved by what was the first run in this area. Suspect that's the right form race and can go one better. ROCK REVOLUTION (4) has had three runs since coming from the Waterhouse Bott yard and led throughout to score two back before trying to do the same last time but weakened late. Low draw and will take catching again. MAXXI BON (5) fought on strongly to just miss behind Awash last time. Meets the winner 3kg better and expected to be in the finish again. AWASH (2) continues to race well, including a gentle win over Maxxi Bon and despite more weight should be in the finish again. ROSSANADO (6) is up in grade but in top form and will go close with the light weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stormfront can go one better.
