RACE COMMENT
RUDY GEE (6) has performed well in two outings at this circuit and distance since joining Luke McCarthy for this campaign, clocking in second when resuming before a fourth in this grade last time. That should have brought him close to peak fitness so he could break through in this suitable assignment. DELIGHTFUL CHARM (4) faded last start at Penrith but led from a similar draw to this and fought on for a close second when resuming at this venue and distance prior. Proven third-up and can push forward to give a sight. KING TIGER (9) draws out but is building in fitness and there was merit in his most recent appearance when beaten less than 5m away after racing parked. ONE FOR THE RODI (7) draws a little lower than last week and could be competitive in this line-up.BEST BETS:
