Solid tempo with Bold Response to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. THEOLOGY (6) resumes from a short break having shown good ability in two runs to date. He won narrowly on debut here over 1300m, sent into a much tougher 3yo race at Flemington when last seen, not disgraced in a distant fourth there. 1200m might be on the sharp side but he profiles well against exposed opposition. BOLD RESPONSE (7) doesn't win out of turn but has good early speed and will give you a run for your money up front, especially if the track is favouring those on speed. ABSOLUTE POWER (4) resumed at big odds with a narrow win at Caulfield Heath, getting over the top late. Have to respect again now. FREAK OF NATURE (3) is struggling to win but going okay and maps for an ideal run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Theology to win.
