Millennium Services Group-Bm84 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 15) Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. |

---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early pace with Delightful Journey and Military Expert driving across from their wide draws. EL ROCKO (16) is the testing material. Both wins since being gelded have been dominant on heavy tracks. he stays at 1400m and it won't be as wet, but he rates highly and is still on the up. POLANCO (3) looks the main danger. He was good behind an impressive winner last time out and had no luck prior at this track and distance. He draws ideally and can win. PASCERO (9) was very good first up in the Creswick Stakes before failing last time. Can bounce back third up with the rise in trip suiting. MILITARY EXPERT (2) is a classy horse who ran well at G1 level last time in and should be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: El Rocko & Polanco to win.
