Verdict

RALLY THE TROOPS (9) got the job done at Geraldton two back before a strong effort as favourite at Ascot most recently. Up to the mile doesn't appear an issue and he draws ideally to find the front. Blinkers come off now and he can go to another level again now. IDYLLIC RULER (1) led them up over this trip at Northam and was too good, winning by 0.8L as favourite. He'll carry less weight today with the claim of Gaerth and he'll be fitter again third-up. Should be prominent in the run and will take catching. AUDIO BOY (2) just missed behind Idyllic Ruler last start when trying to run him down at Northam. Pike now hops in the saddle and he was a good winner at Ascot prior. Wide alley but rates highly and should be in the finish. WOZZECK (6) comes through the same race behind Idyllic Ruler and Audio Boy and has to be included. FIVE DOWN (3) disappointed on Saturday but gets the blinkers on today on the quick turnaround. Can bounce back.

Useful type. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 10 at Ascot Cl1 on November 5 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Cashel Palace carrying 58kg at $2.50. The start before that favourite; won by 1.4 len at Geraldton Mdn October 24 over 1400m defeating A Lot Of Class with 56kg at $3. Building nicely and can improve again.

The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Northam Rtg 46+ October 31 over 1400m defeating Strictly Cash with 52kg at $6.50. Looms as a real threat.

Useful gelding. Last start raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Northam Cl3 on November 7 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Idyllic Ruler carrying 60kg at $3.50. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.7 len at Ascot Cl3 October 16 over 1600m defeating Buckeye Bullet with 59kg at $8.50. Right in the mix once more.
