Race comment
OVERVIEW: CASTLE RETREAT (4) settled three back on the markers and finished fast when a close second behind Hurricane Hall at Melton last outing. He has been placed in three of his past four starts and is ready to break through for a win. FOOLISH PLEASURE (5) is a smart horse, which is resuming a fourth at Cranbourne in November. He will be fitter from a third at a Maryborough trial performance on Sunday and should go well. VANQUISH STRIDE (7) was held up badly for a run and should have finished much closer when fourth behind Where’s Seggy at Melton last outing. He has an excellent record at Swan Hill and is worth thought despite the wide draw. FRANKS VERY MUCH (2) settled sixth on the outside, came out four horses wide at the 300m and finished fifth at Echuca last outing. He ran a good race when second at Shepparton prior and races best when he is close to the pace so he is ideally drawn to suit his racing pattern. MAJOR DELICO (10) had little luck in the straight when seventh at his first run since August and is a possible improver. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 2,3 RATINGS: 4/ 5,7/ 2/ 10/ 6/ 8,9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: CASTLE RETREAT (4) settled three back on the markers and finished fast when a close second behind Hurricane Hall at Melton last outing. He has been placed in three of his past four starts and is ready to break through for a win. FOOLISH PLEASURE (5) is a smart horse, which is resuming a fourth at Cranbourne in November. He will be fitter from a third at a Maryborough trial performance on Sunday and should go well. VANQUISH STRIDE (7) was held up badly for a run and should have finished much closer when fourth behind Where’s Seggy at Melton last outing. He has an excellent record at Swan Hill and is worth thought despite the wide draw. FRANKS VERY MUCH (2) settled sixth on the outside, came out four horses wide at the 300m and finished fifth at Echuca last outing. He ran a good race when second at Shepparton prior and races best when he is close to the pace so he is ideally drawn to suit his racing pattern. MAJOR DELICO (10) had little luck in the straight when seventh at his first run since August and is a possible improver. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 2,3 RATINGS: 4/ 5,7/ 2/ 10/ 6/ 8,9

He will be fitter from a third at a Maryborough trial performance on Sunday and should go well. VANQUISH STRIDE (7) was held up badly for a run and should have finished much closer when fourth behind Where’s Seggy at Melton last outing. He has an excellent record at Swan Hill and is worth thought despite the wide draw. FRANKS VERY MUCH (2) settled sixth on the outside, came out four horses wide at the 300m and finished fifth at Echuca last outing. He ran a good race when second at Shepparton prior and races best when he is close to the pace so he is ideally drawn to suit his racing pattern. MAJOR DELICO (10) had little luck in the straight when seventh at his first run since August and is a possible improver. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 2,3 RATINGS: 4/ 5,7/ 2/ 10/ 6/ 8,9
