Just about the most competitive race on the card with ROWDY ROCHER looking to provide a first winner as a conditional for his rider Rachel McDonald. The up in grade Rhymers Stone will provide the main opposition although it’s a surprise to see the cheekpieces left off him this time around. Maxie T is looking to work his way up to something having run well last time out and his mark now looks one that he can win off. Landecker and Top Billing are both capable but can find their attitude getting in the way with Forty Crown now looking to be in the grip of the handicapper. 1. Rowdy Rocher 2. Maxie T 3. Rhymers Stone
