Strong pace with Our Rocky Bay pushing forward along with Seven Iron from an outside gate. The feature of the day and LORD VAMPI (1) is the one to beat. He gave most of them a head start in the J.C Roberts and blew right by them all to win by 1.1L. He does rise a kilo, but he won the lead up with ease and it's going to take a horse improving sharply to turn the tables on him. A LOT OF GOOD MEN (2) looked a little flat in the J.C Roberts but he may be looking for this trip now. He started favourite in the lead up after a strong run in the Lex Piper two back. Noske hops on board now from a handy draw and if one can turn the tables, he's the most likely. ALASKAN (4) bought different form into the Roberts and showed what he's capable of, finishing behind Lord Vampi. Chris Parnham hops back in the saddle now and he's sure to make his presence felt. IN GOOD ORDER (8) closed off well last time out and looks ready for this trip. Won't be far away. ROYAL TORONADO (6) was never given a chance over a mile last start and is much better than that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Lord Vampi.
