The Stradbroke looks a competitive race this year with several winning chances.

Freedom Rally was excellent last time at weight for age and now gets a big weight drop of 7.5kg. Just needs one more scratching to make the field. Vilana raced against Here To Shock and Freedom Rally two starts back but now gets 6kgs less from that start and after a big figure produced last start if he can hold around that level he will be extremely hard to beat.
Antino was wide the trip last start and although the finishing position reads a little disappointing it was a good run under the circumstances and this has been the target race for the horse all prep, expect he will be peaking for this, however he does have another wide gate to overcome.
Bella Nipotina is super consistent but has also come up with a wide draw and stepping up to this trip for the first time is a slight risk.

Back (Win) Freedom Rally for 1 unit
