Rebel Force can continue on an upward curve and make it three on the bounce at Echuca today.

Rebel Force has shown plenty of ability in his short career to date and looks to have more to give looking at his profile.

He stepped beyond the mile for the first time three starts back and ran a promising third at Mildura before running over the top to win well at the same course two back.

Off a 42-day break, and upped in trip, he was able to follow up in style last time, proving a cut above his rivals at Swan Hill over the 2108m trip.

He can be fitter for that coming into today and the task ahead of him hardly looks tougher.

Young hoop Jordan Childs takes the mount and he has ridden Echuca well to this point in his short career.

Childs strikes at 12% at the course and has done so with horses out in the market, his profit on turnover at the track currently a large +114.6%.

Dangers come in the form of Cisco Delago, Sacred Dream and Jimmy's Better who have locked horns in recent times and there shouldn't be too much between the trio again today.

Jimmy's Better measured right up to Cisco Delago two starts back and he is the horse that ties the form right in having come off that second to Cisco Delago to run second to Rebel Force last time.

This form-line would suggest, particularly with the improving profile, that Rebel Force has the beating of this trio today and is the one to be with.
