summary
I see there being quite a bit of speed in this event and some of it has drawn high, so an economical run in transit is key. THE SHOW and ROOKIE STAR are the two runners that should map nicely and each promotes some interest based on their recent form. The Show drops back to 1200m but has had a trial since and went nicely enough. He is likely to be attractive odds. Rookie Star just peaked on his run first-up and then failed when a beaten favourite on the dirt. He deserves another chance based on his best ratings compared to others here. NOBLE DE BOY posted the fourth-best final-400m at the September 5 meeting (2) and isn’t out of it, especially if the pace is as strong as I expect it might be up front. OTOUTO is third up and can run well, although his strike rate of one from 26 is somewhat concerning. I don’t like the early favourite Regency Honey at all; he sits a lot longer in my 100% market compared to his price in early betting.
