Verdict

RADICAL DUDE (5) was in control from the outset to score as a heavily supported favourite on debut over 6f at Cranbourne two-and-a-half weeks ago, coming right away to win by 3.5 lengths in a field of four. Harder now but he looks more than capable of winning again. ROSA AOTEAROA (2) resumes with imposing form last time in work, just missing here then winning 2/3, far too good at Mornington before a break. He looks to have trialled very nicely and can pick up where he left off. TWO TO TANGO (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 5 ½f at Pakenham. Tipping she can measure right up. THE MANSMAN (4) resumes. This may be too sharp but he can be working home late. DAILY BUGLE (1) perhaps next best.
