Race Analysis

ROSE QUARTZ (6) got herself right back on track last time, powering home behind a fast winner at Caulfield, and now she returns to Flemington ready to win one. Twice a winner down the straight here and she can make it three in a race that can set up well for her. HALVORSEN (1) will spot them a start but looks sure to get a nice pace to run at. Five wins here and was placed in this race last year. Return in a good race said he has come back in top order once again. ALPHA ONE (7) turns up off a short break and with bundles of upside. The second to Giga Kick makes for some reading now! ESTA LA ROCA (2) and YULONG COMMAND (4) are good 1000m speedsters that can be competitive.
