Race Overview

RIFF ROCKET (4) clearly on top. He was electric winning the Listed Super Impose here over 1800m two back, then found himself in a farcical race when beaten at $1.28 at Caulfield. Tipping he bounces back strongly here from a good draw. APULIA (1) will line up for his third run in three weeks but isn't showing any signs of it, winning the G2 Vase at Moonee Valley last week and looking strong late. Should have no issue with 2500m and looks the main danger. GATES (8) had no hope in the Caulfield Classic last start off such a slow tempo. He looks a proper stayer and a much improved run is on the cards. SUNSETS (5) walked them along in that race but did show fight when challenged by Riff Rocket. Has to be some chance. VERDAD (2) looks a query at 2500m but is coming through the right races.
