Verdict

TIDAL RUSH (1) settled well back last start and never threatened but things get far easier here and he should be handy with the good draw and jockey. Thin race and very winnable. TILLMAN (2) also comes off being well beaten last time but change of scenario now. Back in trip and back on the grass he can figure. FLASHBACK TIME (10) is just whacking away but note that best figures measure up nicely and he can run well along with BELLA PIAZZA (6) who wasn't too far away in seventh over 1 ¹/16m at Canberra Acton last time and this is easier. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. NAGADEC (3) looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
