Race comment
OVERVIEW: BLUE CHIP DELIGHT (4) has returned from a spell in peak form and has recorded outstanding final sectionals from the death seat at his past two victories. He will be driven in a forward manner and is a very good chance of completing a hat trick. STRUVE (7) settled down last, came out very wide on the track and produced a huge finishing burst when he just failed to overhaul Jean Luc at Bendigo. He over-raced badly when driven in a forward manner last week and he faded late so he might go back to being driven with one last crack at the leaders from this wide draw. EUREKA (8) is resuming since April but he chased hard in a quick last quarter when second behind It's Beaujolais at a Melton trial last week. He is a smart pacer and will go well, particularly if CHECK IN (1), which led throughout at a Geelong victory over the same distance in July, holds the front around the first turn. SAHARA SIROCCO (5) and STEEL SCREENS (6) are both racing well enough to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 4/ 7/ 5,8/ 6/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: BLUE CHIP DELIGHT (4) has returned from a spell in peak form and has recorded outstanding final sectionals from the death seat at his past two victories. He will be driven in a forward manner and is a very good chance of completing a hat trick. STRUVE (7) settled down last, came out very wide on the track and produced a huge finishing burst when he just failed to overhaul Jean Luc at Bendigo. He over-raced badly when driven in a forward manner last week and he faded late so he might go back to being driven with one last crack at the leaders from this wide draw. EUREKA (8) is resuming since April but he chased hard in a quick last quarter when second behind It's Beaujolais at a Melton trial last week. He is a smart pacer and will go well, particularly if CHECK IN (1), which led throughout at a Geelong victory over the same distance in July, holds the front around the first turn. SAHARA SIROCCO (5) and STEEL SCREENS (6) are both racing well enough to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 4/ 7/ 5,8/ 6/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: BLUE CHIP DELIGHT (4) has returned from a spell in peak form and has recorded outstanding final sectionals from the death seat at his past two victories. He will be driven in a forward manner and is a very good chance of completing a hat trick. STRUVE (7) settled down last, came out very wide on the track and produced a huge finishing burst when he just failed to overhaul Jean Luc at Bendigo. He over-raced badly when driven in a forward manner last week and he faded late so he might go back to being driven with one last crack at the leaders from this wide draw. EUREKA (8) is resuming since April but he chased hard in a quick last quarter when second behind It's Beaujolais at a Melton trial last week. He is a smart pacer and will go well, particularly if CHECK IN (1), which led throughout at a Geelong victory over the same distance in July, holds the front around the first turn. SAHARA SIROCCO (5) and STEEL SCREENS (6) are both racing well enough to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 4/ 7/ 5,8/ 6/ 1
