Nothing to run them along so the pace looks even at best. DANXIA (3) brought strong form to Geelong first-up in a 64 but drew wide on the heavy track and didn't get into it. Faced a similar track there following on a soft surface and impressed, beaten 1.7L after covering ground. He is still well shy of his best and has a low barrier today and a handy 3kg claim. Well-graded and is the one to beat. RUPERTS RED ROCKET (1) improved again winning a 58 at Wodonga on the heavy Finally draws a decent barrier, and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. BRENLYN'S TROOPER (7) won a 50 and then was better again beaten 1L at Wangaratta. Has the blinkers on again and can get some of the prize money. BROOKLYN BABY (10) has been within range his last two and drawn for a soft run, she won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Danxia to win.
