Regal Might has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. ROYAL FLARE (2) goes on top again. He's a promising 4yo who was sent out a prohibitive favourite first up at Caulfield Heath, jumping $1.35 but doing enough to kick clear and score by half a length. Tough draw and a big weight but he should take a good step forward off that and can go on with the job. LAUBERHORN (12) was well backed to win on debut at Sale before an even effort last start at Pakenham. He's open to a stack of improvement and should get every hope from the draw. RODRIQUEZ (7) ran on well first up over 1000m to grab third at Caulfield Heath. Tough draw here but up to 1200m should suit now and he can figure. ELECTRIC TOMMY (1) resumes having been racing well last time in, respecting. OLIVIA ROSE (13) has been thereabouts in two runs back and won't need to improve a whole lot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Flare to win.
