From the inside draw Resonator has enough dash to find the lead and set a reasonable tempo. TERRITORY MAN (10) flew home in good splits first-up at Belmont, finishing 0.4L off the winner. The form out of that race has been white hot and this shapes as a very suitable race on the back of that effort. Easy to think he still has improvement to come and he can get the job done this time. RALLY THE TROOPS (9) is another that flew home last start, this time in Saturday grade just 11 days ago. He's third-up here and boasts a strong third-up record. Chris Parnham hops in the saddle this time and if he can take closer order in the run, he'll be hard to hold out. SKYTALKER (5) gets the blinkers on first time today following a 1.3L defeat over this track and trip last time out. He finished behind Rally The Troops there but was solid from a midfield position. Can be in the finish once again. GOLDEN KATHLEEN (7) missed by 1.8L last start in a close finish through the same race as Skytalker. Include. CHERRY CAN RUN (2) will appreciate the easier company today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Territory Man in the last.
