Race comment
OVERVIEW: Here we go again. Another chapter in the infinite battle between fitness, barrier draws and class. At first glance, the bottom four runners engaged in this event have a major edge on their rivals, but over 2080m – the shortest middle-journey trip in Vic – things may not play that way. With all that on record we’re siding with BOOTS ELECTRIC (7). It’s far from ideal that this bloke is racing for the first time since early November tonight, but the front line draw gives him options and at his best he’s very, very good. And his recent trial at Shep was nothing more than something to warm the muscles. Leading the cavalry of dangers are SOMEWHERE SECRET (9) who has raced at a high level for a pretty long time and RICK REILLY (3) who has rapidly elevated himself to this grade of late and has the gate speed to dictate terms in front. The other class runners are SAN CARLO (10) and FOURBIGMEN (8) but with the right fortune JEAN LUC (4) and WOULD YOU MIND (6) can also strike gold in the toughest metro contest you’ll ever likely see. EARLY SPEED: 1,3 + 4 RATINGS: 7/ 9/ 3/ 10/ 4/ 6/ 8/ 1/ 2/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Here we go again. Another chapter in the infinite battle between fitness, barrier draws and class. At first glance, the bottom four runners engaged in this event have a major edge on their rivals, but over 2080m – the shortest middle-journey trip in Vic – things may not play that way. With all that on record we’re siding with BOOTS ELECTRIC (7). It’s far from ideal that this bloke is racing for the first time since early November tonight, but the front line draw gives him options and at his best he’s very, very good. And his recent trial at Shep was nothing more than something to warm the muscles. Leading the cavalry of dangers are SOMEWHERE SECRET (9) who has raced at a high level for a pretty long time and RICK REILLY (3) who has rapidly elevated himself to this grade of late and has the gate speed to dictate terms in front. The other class runners are SAN CARLO (10) and FOURBIGMEN (8) but with the right fortune JEAN LUC (4) and WOULD YOU MIND (6) can also strike gold in the toughest metro contest you’ll ever likely see.

OVERVIEW: Here we go again. Another chapter in the infinite battle between fitness, barrier draws and class. At first glance, the bottom four runners engaged in this event have a major edge on their rivals, but over 2080m – the shortest middle-journey trip in Vic – things may not play that way. With all that on record we’re siding with BOOTS ELECTRIC (7). It’s far from ideal that this bloke is racing for the first time since early November tonight, but the front line draw gives him options and at his best he’s very, very good. And his recent trial at Shep was nothing more than something to warm the muscles. Leading the cavalry of dangers are SOMEWHERE SECRET (9) who has raced at a high level for a pretty long time and RICK REILLY (3) who has rapidly elevated himself to this grade of late and has the gate speed to dictate terms in front. The other class runners are SAN CARLO (10) and FOURBIGMEN (8) but with the right fortune JEAN LUC (4) and WOULD YOU MIND (6) can also strike gold in the toughest metro contest you’ll ever likely see. EARLY SPEED: 1,3 + 4 RATINGS: 7/ 9/ 3/ 10/ 4/ 6/ 8/ 1/ 2/ 5

OVERVIEW: Here we go again. Another chapter in the infinite battle between fitness, barrier draws and class. At first glance, the bottom four runners engaged in this event have a major edge on their rivals, but over 2080m – the shortest middle-journey trip in Vic – things may not play that way. With all that on record we’re siding with BOOTS ELECTRIC (7). It’s far from ideal that this bloke is racing for the first time since early November tonight, but the front line draw gives him options and at his best he’s very, very good. And his recent trial at Shep was nothing more than something to warm the muscles. Leading the cavalry of dangers are SOMEWHERE SECRET (9) who has raced at a high level for a pretty long time and RICK REILLY (3) who has rapidly elevated himself to this grade of late and has the gate speed to dictate terms in front. The other class runners are SAN CARLO (10) and FOURBIGMEN (8) but with the right fortune JEAN LUC (4) and WOULD YOU MIND (6) can also strike gold in the toughest metro contest you’ll ever likely see.
