Our Rocky Bay to take charge ahead of Blazing Emerald at a good tempo. CORRECT CHOICE (9) sat back and rounded up his rivals with ease over this course and distance last time out, winning by 1.6L. He boasts a good third-up record and the last-start win suggested there was more in story. Can continue his rise through the ranks. BLAZING EMERALD (7) is hard to knock on recent form, finishing in the quinella her past six outings. She's a track and trip winner two back and Pike remains in the saddle. She'll give a bold sight from the front. OUR ROCKY BAY (3) just missed last start when beaten in a photo finish over 1400m. He was favourite there following a narrow defeat at this track and trip two back. Racing well and can bounce back to winning ways. MACCIATEAU (4) was a surprise winner first-up but should appreciate the rise in trip. No reason why he can't bring up back-to-back wins. STYLISH LORD (5) is usually around the mark and he's expected to be thereabouts again today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Correct Choice to win again.
