AU - Northam - Race 6

RORY'S REVENGE (4) is the one to beat after breaking through at this venue as favourite, storming home from well back to score by a nose. Going straight into a CL3 is the obvious test, but his record at this track and distance, the William Pike booking and recent improvement make him the runner with the most upside. VANCOUVER STORM (10) has the strongest recent benchmark, having run second to Grandad's Adiction in a NMW1Y at Belmont after being slow to begin. That was a strong return to form and this looks to shape similarly with Faithfull still on board. He's a track and trip winner previously and can go one better this time. BOUSSAC (5) comes through the same Belmont Park race, beaten just under a length after jumping awkwardly. He's building nicely and can't be left out of calculations. ACTA NON VERBA (2) worked home well for third most recently is suited getting back to 1m. Can go on with it. LA EXCELLENCE (6) won't be far away.
