Genuine pace with Rainbow Delight taking up the running ahead of Hollandia and Vellasglory. Going with SO BRAVE (1) who has the ability to win this. He's only second up here going from 1600m to 2500m which is interesting, but the stable can typically get them fit at home, and he did win dominantly over this route before the break. TSITSIPAS (5) is racing consistently, just finding one better here last time out. Fresh for this should be fine and he maps for a nice run behind the pace. RAINBOW DELIGHT (2) struggled in tougher grade in town last time but had been good prior at Cranbourne over 2080m, beaten a head. He'll roll forward and take catching. SHREWSBURY ROAD (10) is racing well this time in, getting home fairly well over this route behind TOPSPIN (13) last time out. Topspin was big odds there but might be able to go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Brave to win.
