Verdict

The feature of the day now and ROCKIN' RUPERT (8) looks ready to win a race like this. He was strong late in the Miss Andretti and stepping out in trip should suit. He maps for a lovely run and if he can get back to his best form, he'll be very hard to run down. NORICH (7) may have found them too slick in the Summer Scorcher over 1000m and should appreciate stepping up in trip again. He can press on from the wide alley and if he's at his best, he'll take plenty of catching. MAN CRUSH (2) was too good in the Miss Andretti when winning by 1L. His record at the track and trip is a niggle, but he's racing in good form and Chris Parnham sticks. Has to be included on the back of his latest effort. TRIPLE JAY (4) resumes on Hottest 100 Day in a pleasant coincidence. He was brilliant through the Winter and he's trialled well coming in. Can pick up where he left off. TWAIN'S ANGEL (9) is knocking on the door and should be in the finish.

Bounced back last start and looks primed for a big effort.

Racing well. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track in the LR Summer Scorcher on January 1 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Oxbridge carrying 54kg at $4.20. The start before that won by 1.2 len at this track Tbwa Stallion December 21 over 1200m defeating Stylish Lord with 57kg at $3.50. Rates highly. May have found them a bit sharp last start and up in trip suits.

Verdict
Third-up today and won third-up previously. Freshened for 56 days. Resuming did the work up front then tired 6th of 12 at this track in the G3 Colonel Reeves on November 16 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Rope Them In carrying 57.5kg at $11. Second run from a spell sat behind the speed prior to fading 12th of 16 at this track in the G1 Winterbottom on November 30 over 1200m, 6 len behind Overpass carrying 58.5kg at $51. Hasn't gone on with his early form and is easy enough to oppose.

Most recently eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track in the LR Miss Andretti on January 11 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Man Crush with 61kg at $21. The run before that 11th of 16 at this track in the G3 Gold Rush on December 14 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Western Empire with 59kg at $41. Old champ who bobs up from time-to-time, but others look to have his measure here.
