Plenty of speed from Nordic Strike and Rodriquez. RODRIQUEZ (5) is well suited here. The fresh effort at Caulfield Heath reads well for this before fading late at Sandown Lakeside. Back in trip and grade here, he should take catching. NORDIC STRIKE (4) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 1.5 lengths back in second over 1000m at this track. Better for that and will be hard to run down from out wide for Jabez Johnstone. BEHAVIOUR (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 975m at Swan Hill, beaten 4.5 lengths. Second up record is sound and his best is good enough. MARTIAL MUSIC (1) resumes for a new yard off a short break and has the ability to figure, watch the market. SOJU (6) has been okay her past couple and is in the each way mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rodriquez on top.
