Race comment
OVERVIEW: ROCK THE NATION (3) was driven aggressively and boxed on gamely for second (1m) behind Carmy Dan (won again since) at Cranbourne at his latest attempt. He is likely to be looking for the lead and will take beating against this line up. LITTLE SAFARI (6) appears to be very well graded in this event and is capable of improving on his numerical form. He was caught wide early before pushing forward to race without cover when fifth against a stronger line up at Shepparton last week. ILLAWONG LORD (2) is backing up quickly from his first up performance at Melton on Thursday. He led and finished second at a Cranbourne trial prior and he should be prominent throughout from the good draw. GEE HEE ROCKS (1) has struggled to recapture his best form since resuming from a break but he was driven aggressively at Yarra Valley last week, which is a sign that he might be on the way up. He is perfectly drawn and gets his chance to run a good race. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 3/ 6/ 1,2/ 4,5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: ROCK THE NATION (3) was driven aggressively and boxed on gamely for second (1m) behind Carmy Dan (won again since) at Cranbourne at his latest attempt. He is likely to be looking for the lead and will take beating against this line up. LITTLE SAFARI (6) appears to be very well graded in this event and is capable of improving on his numerical form. He was caught wide early before pushing forward to race without cover when fifth against a stronger line up at Shepparton last week. ILLAWONG LORD (2) is backing up quickly from his first up performance at Melton on Thursday. He led and finished second at a Cranbourne trial prior and he should be prominent throughout from the good draw. GEE HEE ROCKS (1) has struggled to recapture his best form since resuming from a break but he was driven aggressively at Yarra Valley last week, which is a sign that he might be on the way up. He is perfectly drawn and gets his chance to run a good race. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 3/ 6/ 1,2/ 4,5
