Strong tempo from Major Beel, joined by Wootton Verni and Cool Jakey following. DUCASSE (3) raced with mixed success this time in and can improve on the Randwick track. Drifted back from the wide gate and launched late in the conditions when third over 1500m at Rosehill in the G3 Doncaster Prelude. Gets the right set up in this weaker contest. GREEN FLY (13) surged late on resumption when getting up in the last bound to salute over 1400m at Rosehill in BM88 grade. Goes just as well second up and the extra trip is in his favour with the drop in weight. LAVISH EMPIRE (17) bounced off his eye catching fifth at Canberra with a well deserved victory over 1500m in the Muswellbrook Cup. Looks a great each way chance. GREBENI (5) away slowly and unlucky not to have won when he powered late for a narrow second over 1500m in the Muswellbrook Cup. Goes well here and ready to win. COOL JAKEY (18) having his third start in just over three weeks and expected to play a leading role again. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ducasse to win.
