I heard Dyson actually said
"His times were nothing, but the box was excellent"

10 Seachange (NZ)
6 Pompeii Ruler
8 Marasco
3 El Segundo (NZ)

El Segundo might have trouble coming over the top of these 1st. up. Might do it, but the odds will be a waste of time and will start the punter's favorite.

There is going to be no real pace here [Seachange and Casual Pass] and Rodd should be able to dictate the pace on Seachange. Beat home Ticklish last start for a close 2nd. to Darci Brahma over 1200m in the G1 Telegraph and now moves up to his favorite distance [3 out of 4 at 1400m]. Read that Pompeii Ruler will be allowed to sit back midfield and the new running style has been an improvement.

Marasco is a big query here. Seachange looks better and should be at e/w odds because nobody has heard of him or how fast he is [very fast] or how hard it will be to run him down over 1400m. with Rodd on board.

Failing all that, throw darts!
