COLMAR (9) resumes and comes right to the fore with rain around. He loves getting his toe into the ground and the 1300m looks an ideal starting point. Expect him to push forward and take control early with Murtagh in the saddle. He's a leading player if conditions turn soft. I AM VELVET (6) had excuses last start at Flemington and is better judged off her strong return win. She draws to get the run of the race with Neindorf aboard and looks well placed back at this trip. Major danger. ROGUE ROCKER (3) is the model of consistency and caught the eye late at Flemington first-up. While yet to win at this distance, he’s well suited and Opperman knows how to get the best out of him. PRINZERRO (5) doesn’t win often but is always honest and steps out to a suitable trip with a handy weight claim. VOLTAGE POINT (7) looks to have come back well and is suited rising in distance. SAN LUCIDO (13) worth considering for wider exotics.
