GOING: S

The Jai Roderick Memorial Race 1741m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 6m 1700m - 800m. Out 7m Remainder.  

Pure Power should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. MAXXI BON (4) has placed in both runs back from a spell, good in second on resumption at Sale before another good effort there last time out. Should be at peak fitness now and does drop slightly in grade for this. Go close. SETTAT (6) is a lightly raced type who resumed with a good run at Cranbourne in this grade over 1300m. He's far better suited to the rise in trip today and will prove hard to beat. PROPRIETARY (1) has been around the mark of late, beaten narrowly at this track last time out in a stronger race. Only needs to hold that form to take beating. WISE LEGEND (9) is a consistent type who has placed in his past three starts. Should be in the finish again. ROMAJI (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maxxi Bon on top.
