Genuine tempo from Our Rocky Bay leading Stylish Lord. An even BM66+ will end the day, and an even lineup will run over 1500m. We like STYLISH LORD (3), who can't be faulted this year with his form. He set them up here 2 weeks ago and was only claimed late, finishing second by half a length. He has 100m less to travel this time and can take them all the way. GOLDEN DORE (6) capped off some fine form with a well-deserved win by a nose at Albany nearly 2 weeks ago. He can handle any track conditions, and another honest effort can be expected. OUR ROCKY BAY (2) stuck to his task gamely when finishing third here 2 weeks ago. He is likely to race close to the pace and should be right in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stylish Lord each-way.
