Verdict

MEASURE OF TIME (7) was well supported on debut at Donald, working home for a midfield finish, beaten 2.75 lengths. Tipping he'll be better for that run now and with natural improvement he can take this out. RATHLIN EXPRESS (9) has been in the market in all three runs to date, sitting close to a strong speed at Pakenham last time and fading late. There's ability there and look for improvement. MOONBOLT (2) just missed fresh before working home fairly well at Pakenham last time for fourth. May want further now but can prove hard to hold out again. PRINCE OF BROOKY (3) continues to race well and will give a sight up on speed.
