PARAMOUNT+ TROPHY
Results
Open race to finish. CHORLTON LANE (16) looks like a horse suited at Flemington. He's got talent and wasn't beaten far by subsequent Silver Eagle winner Vienna Princess last start. Gets in with 54.5kg here and will be very hard to hold out. RISE OF THE MASSES (8) won well first up and again tried hard with 62kg last time out. Drops 6kg here with Zac Purton on, he'll roll forward and prove tough to catch. SUBSTANTIAL (15) worked home well for third on resumption at Caulfield over 1440m and will strip fitter. Measured up in some handy races last time in and should be thereabouts. TONNEOFGRIT (17) resumes. He was racing in great form last time in and can run well fresh. ROBUSTO (14) can improve lengths here with McDonald on from the inside draw.
