Race comment
OVERVIEW: DANCEFORME (6) is the class runner of the field and is clearly the horse to beat. He ran third in the Horsham Classic, followed with a runaway victory at Mildura and finished fourth behind Ruby Wingate after the leaders ran down the back straight in a scintillating quarter of 26.6 seconds! SAFARI CHEER (2) was resuming since April when he gained the perfect trip in the one out and one back trail and came out three horses wide on the home turn to win at Ballarat. He should be fitter from that run and will go well again. FOREGONE CONCLUSION (1) had a few chances leading up to his maiden Australian success but he trailed the leader and used the sprint lane at his Horsham victory and he is drawn to receive a similar trip here. PRESIDENTIAL ART (4) was able to score at Ballarat two starts ago, where he raced without cover throughout. He is a good chance of finding the death seat again so he is worth an investment. WOTCHAWAITINGFOR (3) was able to record his first success since June 2019 when he led throughout at Horsham. He is a good chance of finding the lead again but the extra distance of this event is a disadvantage. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 6/ 2/ 1,4/ 3/ 7/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: DANCEFORME (6) is the class runner of the field and is clearly the horse to beat. He ran third in the Horsham Classic, followed with a runaway victory at Mildura and finished fourth behind Ruby Wingate after the leaders ran down the back straight in a scintillating quarter of 26.6 seconds! SAFARI CHEER (2) was resuming since April when he gained the perfect trip in the one out and one back trail and came out three horses wide on the home turn to win at Ballarat. He should be fitter from that run and will go well again. FOREGONE CONCLUSION (1) had a few chances leading up to his maiden Australian success but he trailed the leader and used the sprint lane at his Horsham victory and he is drawn to receive a similar trip here. PRESIDENTIAL ART (4) was able to score at Ballarat two starts ago, where he raced without cover throughout. He is a good chance of finding the death seat again so he is worth an investment. WOTCHAWAITINGFOR (3) was able to record his first success since June 2019 when he led throughout at Horsham. He is a good chance of finding the lead again but the extra distance of this event is a disadvantage. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 6/ 2/ 1,4/ 3/ 7/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: DANCEFORME (6) is the class runner of the field and is clearly the horse to beat. He ran third in the Horsham Classic, followed with a runaway victory at Mildura and finished fourth behind Ruby Wingate after the leaders ran down the back straight in a scintillating quarter of 26.6 seconds! SAFARI CHEER (2) was resuming since April when he gained the perfect trip in the one out and one back trail and came out three horses wide on the home turn to win at Ballarat. He should be fitter from that run and will go well again. FOREGONE CONCLUSION (1) had a few chances leading up to his maiden Australian success but he trailed the leader and used the sprint lane at his Horsham victory and he is drawn to receive a similar trip here. PRESIDENTIAL ART (4) was able to score at Ballarat two starts ago, where he raced without cover throughout. He is a good chance of finding the death seat again so he is worth an investment. WOTCHAWAITINGFOR (3) was able to record his first success since June 2019 when he led throughout at Horsham. He is a good chance of finding the lead again but the extra distance of this event is a disadvantage. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 6/ 2/ 1,4/ 3/ 7/ 5
