---|---|---|---|---|
Cormac T is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. CORMAC T (8) stretches out to his preferred trip fourth up and ticks plenty of boxes for this. Never really happy in the heavy going when a plugging third over 1800m here. Braith Nock sticks from the low draw and can utilise his high cruising speed. Goes close. FREIGHT TRAIN (12) deep into the prep and showed enough on the line when eighth over 1800m at this track. Fitter now and will be strong late. HALF YOURS (6) chasing a hat-trick now but must carry an extra 3.5kg for this. Took control of the race in the straight when surging clear for a slick win over most of these in good style last time out. Trip won't pose a problem and stays in the mix. ASSAILANT (11) battled on bravely at his first Australian start when third over 1550m at Canterbury in easier class. Genuine staying type who can come on strongly for this. RISE TO IT (9) building slowly for this trip fourth up and down sharply in weight with Roper's claim. Assess on his good win at Moonee Valley over this trip last November. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cormac T finds his race.
