Race Overview

Taken by the debut of RIFF ROCKET (2) at Geelong. Stalked a steady pace before powering over the top of them and running good overall time. 1400m is going to suit on the back of that and rolling into a race that should be run at a good tempo can be ideal. That tempo will be set by LE ZEBRA (1) who bowled along at Sandown and kept going. He takes catching again. MOJAVE DESERT (3) chased Riff Rocket at Geelong. He can improve and looks up to this level. Think both HYDROGEN POWER (4) and VICTORY COMMAND (5) can also prove up to this class. Couldn't split them at Sandown behind Le Zebra where they conceded fitness and experience.

My Pick

Tongue Tie on. Won last start in similar company and should again be competitive. Most recently he finished 1st 0.8L, Lady In Pink at Sandown-Hillside (2YO) 1300m. Two starts back good run when 3rd 1.3L, Claymore Mine at Mornington (2YO-SW) 1200m. Should test these.
