Verdict

Former Victorian KEEP IT REAL (3) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Gets Rodd on top from a favourable draw and is sure to give backers a sight. COPPER STAR (11) is on the doorstep of another victory with four consecutive placings over this distance range and will be cherry-ripe for this. Looms as the main danger. RUMBLE TOWN (10) will strip fitter second-up from the break and gets some weight off from a low draw. Ticks a few boxes. IL FRATELLO (7) looks to have a bit of upside and shouldn't be discounted lightly. In the mix. DRACARIAN (12) rounds out the selections in an open race to close out the card.
