Genuine tempo with El Rocko leading the way. Open edition of the Seymour Cup. HARD TO CROSS (7) looks suited coming back to 1600m having been part of a strong pace at Sandown Hillside last time and fading late. Form over this distance range prior reads well including a win over Globe at Moonee Valley three back. Can land in a good spot and run very well. MOLLY BLOOM (5) improved sharply second up in the G2 Stocks Stakes at Moonee Valley, coming from back in the field to grab third, albeit in a race that suited those off the pace. Her best form reads well for this and she'll be very hard to hold out. CHARTERHOUSE (2) was a surprise winner out to 1800m last time but relished the strong test to win well. Back to 1600m now and drawn wide is a slight knock but he'll take beating. COTE ATLANTIQUE (6) is coming along well and measured up nicely at G3 level last time. Expecting that form to hold up. EL ROCKO (3) was okay last time but had been flying prior. He just needs a bit of give in the ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard To Cross on top.
