Verdict

RALLY THE TROOPS (2) settled out the back fresh but closed off soundly over 1200m at Belmont, ending up 2L off the winner. He usually improves sharply second-up and the fresh run looks a nice platform for him to build on. Parnham rides now and with a favourable set-up, he can fire a shot. SCIENCE DEGREE (3) led and bolted in over 1300m here last time out with Riordan on board. She takes 3kg off him today with the apprentice claim and out to 1400m is no issue. Can work to the front and make every post a winner. EXCELTRAIN (1) is better than he showed last time out when fading out of contention at Belmont 21 days ago. His form prior was sound, however, and this looks a suitable race on his prior form. Right in this. HEDAWOOD (5) looks well placed out in trip and with a better draw now. ODINAKA (6) won't be far away.

Second run back. First-up after five months 6th of 8 in a Rtg 72+ at Belmont Park on September 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Six Shooter carrying 55kg at $13. Previously second-up 2nd of 15 in a Grad Hcp 60+ at Ascot on December 6 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Redback Flyer carrying 56kg at $11. Solid on resumption and he looks set to launch a strong attack second-up.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 2.25 len in a Opn Spr 73+ at this track on September 20 over 1300m defeating Close At Hand carrying 56kg at $4.80. The race before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 12 in a Coolgardie Spr at this track on September 6 over 1300m, slow going neck behind Altar Boy with 55.5kg at $4.60. Hard to ignore his run last start and he'll be very hard to run down.

Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 13 in a Rtg 66+ at Belmont Park on September 12 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Hurricane Harley with 55kg at $16. Before that ran second last of 15 in a Rtg 66+ at Belmont Park on July 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Mt Shirataku with 55.5kg at $19. Maps for a much better run this time and he's going well enough to feature in the finish.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 11 in a Rtg 70+ at Belmont Park on August 8 over 1600m, in the wet; 7 len behind Lillian with 55.5kg at $6.50. The race before that ran last of 7 in a Rtg 65+ at Belmont Park on August 1 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind In Confidence with 58kg at $9. Nicer scenario for him here and he can bounce back to form.

Most recently didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 8 in a Rtg 72+ at Belmont Park on September 12 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Arcadia Knight carrying 58.5kg at $8.50. The run before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 8 in a Rtg 72+ at Belmont Park on August 15 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Charino with 57.5kg at $12. He's better than he showed last start and he can bounce back.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 in a Rtg 58+ at this track on September 20 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Please Mizter with 55.5kg at $41. Before that made ground from midfield; 4th of 14 in a Rtg 58+ at this track on September 6 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Vomo Island with 55.5kg at $51. Hard to envisage a win today.
