RACE COMMENT
ROCKS ROY (8) has been in excellent form over the past few months and clearly brings the strongest current form into this race. The longer distance and 20-metre handicap should suit his racing pattern and he looks well placed to feature again. INVITATION ONLY (7) is the other class runner in the field and if he produces some of his best form, he should be right in the finish. REPETITIVE (3) and SETTEBELLO (4) are the sharpest beginners from the front row and will be looking to make full use of that advantage early. It would not surprise to see others run into the placings, including SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (6), who is always thereabouts in these types of races and rarely runs a poor one.Selections ROCKS ROY (8), INVITATION ONLY (7), REPETITIVE (3), SETTEBELLO (4)
