Augusta Rock to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MANDARIN (6) followed up a close-up third here in her penultimate start with a big win on this track last week, scoring by over 3 lengths. If this race has not come too soon for her, then she can go close to repeating the dose. ROYAL FOX (4) has raced his way into form with a brave effort for third a week ago. He handles any type of track conditions, and at this level, he is good enough to take this out. MR GEORGE (3) ran his best race this prep when finishing runner-up at Warracknabeal 11 days ago. He holds his form when fit, and another good effort is on the cards. YOUBEEFORTY (11) has been freshened since his last effort 5 weeks ago, and he is a top 4 chance in this modest field. FANTASTIC HOST (9) is a capable veteran on his day, and he is worth keeping safe in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Fox each-way.
