Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a quality race for the 3yo pacers with several winning chances. SEBS CHOICE (8) is resuming since a sixth in a heat of the Home Grown Classic at Ballarat in October but he will be fitter after several recent trial performances, the latest being a victory over the subsequent winner Footlock, where he dashed home his final 800m in 57.6 seconds. He performed strongly throughout his juvenile season and appears to have a promising future. VANQUISH STRIDE (6) was beaten by a large margin at Melton last outing but the first two horses across the line travelled North to Menangle to contest a heat of the New South Wales Derby on Saturday night so he was taking on class opposition. He finished fifth in the Caduceus Classic (Group 1) prior so he should be hard to beat against this line up. RADAR STRIDE (2) won twice during his juvenile season in New South Wales and is nicely drawn for his Victorian debut. He hasn’t raced since October but he went to the line with plenty in reserve when second in fast time at a Ballarat trial effort on Tuesday. ALBY TWO CHAINS (7) won twice throughout his juvenile season and is resuming since his eleventh in the Tatlow Stakes in October. He finished fourth behind SEBS CHOICE (8) at his latest Bacchus Marsh trial performance. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 5,6,7 RATINGS: 8/ 2,6/ 7/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a quality race for the 3yo pacers with several winning chances. SEBS CHOICE (8) is resuming since a sixth in a heat of the Home Grown Classic at Ballarat in October but he will be fitter after several recent trial performances, the latest being a victory over the subsequent winner Footlock, where he dashed home his final 800m in 57.6 seconds. He performed strongly throughout his juvenile season and appears to have a promising future. VANQUISH STRIDE (6) was beaten by a large margin at Melton last outing but the first two horses across the line travelled North to Menangle to contest a heat of the New South Wales Derby on Saturday night so he was taking on class opposition. He finished fifth in the Caduceus Classic (Group 1) prior so he should be hard to beat against this line up. RADAR STRIDE (2) won twice during his juvenile season in New South Wales and is nicely drawn for his Victorian debut. He hasn’t raced since October but he went to the line with plenty in reserve when second in fast time at a Ballarat trial effort on Tuesday. ALBY TWO CHAINS (7) won twice throughout his juvenile season and is resuming since his eleventh in the Tatlow Stakes in October. He finished fourth behind SEBS CHOICE (8) at his latest Bacchus Marsh trial performance. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 5,6,7 RATINGS: 8/ 2,6/ 7/ 5
