Race Overview

PINSTRIPED (3) was just a run first up. Never really threatened a turned in a rating well short of his best. He has been terrific second up in the past though and 1400m suits him much better than 1200m. Think he could be a sharp improver into this. Give EL ROCKO (15) a great chance. Should be close enough without a great deal of pressure around and his late work in the Echuca Cup said he is right on track. Big question mark is ILLATION (13) who made a big impression this time last year but went amiss in his lone spring run when sent out among the market fancies in the Memsie. Wide draw and sure to better for it but he is too talented to ignore. DAYTONA BAY (14) is less talented but he does look like getting every chance on speed and must have a great shot.
