RARE EARTH (4) is progressing well scoring last time out (23.08) at this track and bringing up his 3rd career win. Hard to go past form here, unbeaten in two starts. The form from his last run stacks up well. Hard to go past. AKII ROYALE (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (23.43) from Box 8 at this track. Must be included in calculations. BLUE OPAL (3) missed the frame last time, finishing 8th (23.51) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Bulli. Has never missed the frame here at the trip including one win. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Cannot be underestimated. SPRING DAZZLER (8) generally performs well from this box.
