|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with Applications leading the way. This is tough. RASHFORD (17) was back to his best when narrowly beaten at Doomben on a slow track over this distance and then jumped favourite (again) there and was plain on a good surface (vet cleared). He's back after 14 days so all must be in order. Has a low gate and a 2kg claim and is worth another chance. BOONDOCKS (7) spiked his figures beaten 2L in a 70 at Doomben and the former Victorian is ready for the step up to the mile. Peaks and should be right in it. FLYWHEEL (9) found one better at Doomben (Rashford favourite) and got even closer there the outing prior. He has to manage a wide gate but Maloney is a key jockey engagement. A player. ZAHER (12) brings narrow defeats from Doomben and is back a level. Will be hitting the line and deserves another win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Rashford each way.
