OVERVIEW: Most of us fortunate enough to stand trackside as CANT TOP THIS (1) smashed a long-standing track record during the recent Mildura Carnival would find it almost inconceivable that he wouldn’t repeat the dose at Vic HQ tonight. Yet that concept is in play. The issue, you see for Emma Stewart’s powerful 4YO, is the draw. On a front line without epic early speed, CANT TOP THIS (1) may well hold up; and if he does then his only threat is FIDES (8) sitting on his back. On weights and balances, however, there’s every hope of that guy being crossed, or at least enduring ominous pressure from several rivals keenly aware of his Achilles Heel. Should that heat materialise as expected, the obvious beneficiary is JILLIBY NITRO (10). Traditionally regarded as a front-line speedster, Marg Lee’s former gun juvenile relished racing off the pace last weekend and should feel similarly tonight. For that reason, he rates slightly clear of CANT TOP THIS (1) but the contest certainly doesn’t finish there. If CANT TOP THIS (1) doesn’t lead then KISSMELVIS (5) likely will and he’s a dangerous pacer out and rolling in front, while the aforementioned FIDES (8) will relish being coiled up along the pegs first-up from a break and RADIUS (7) is thriving now he’s finally playing enforcer on a regular basis, which always seemed his tactical strength.

OVERVIEW: Most of us fortunate enough to stand trackside as CANT TOP THIS (1) smashed a long-standing track record during the recent Mildura Carnival would find it almost inconceivable that he wouldn’t repeat the dose at Vic HQ tonight. Yet that concept is in play. The issue, you see for Emma Stewart’s powerful 4YO, is the draw. On a front line without epic early speed, CANT TOP THIS (1) may well hold up; and if he does then his only threat is FIDES (8) sitting on his back. On weights and balances, however, there’s every hope of that guy being crossed, or at least enduring ominous pressure from several rivals keenly aware of his Achilles Heel. Should that heat materialise as expected, the obvious beneficiary is JILLIBY NITRO (10). Traditionally regarded as a front-line speedster, Marg Lee’s former gun juvenile relished racing off the pace last weekend and should feel similarly tonight. For that reason, he rates slightly clear of CANT TOP THIS (1) but the contest certainly doesn’t finish there. If CANT TOP THIS (1) doesn’t lead then KISSMELVIS (5) likely will and he’s a dangerous pacer out and rolling in front, while the aforementioned FIDES (8) will relish being coiled up along the pegs first-up from a break and RADIUS (7) is thriving now he’s finally playing enforcer on a regular basis, which always seemed his tactical strength.

OVERVIEW: Most of us fortunate enough to stand trackside as CANT TOP THIS (1) smashed a long-standing track record during the recent Mildura Carnival would find it almost inconceivable that he wouldn’t repeat the dose at Vic HQ tonight. Yet that concept is in play. The issue, you see for Emma Stewart’s powerful 4YO, is the draw. On a front line without epic early speed, CANT TOP THIS (1) may well hold up; and if he does then his only threat is FIDES (8) sitting on his back. On weights and balances, however, there’s every hope of that guy being crossed, or at least enduring ominous pressure from several rivals keenly aware of his Achilles Heel. Should that heat materialise as expected, the obvious beneficiary is JILLIBY NITRO (10). Traditionally regarded as a front-line speedster, Marg Lee’s former gun juvenile relished racing off the pace last weekend and should feel similarly tonight. For that reason, he rates slightly clear of CANT TOP THIS (1) but the contest certainly doesn’t finish there. If CANT TOP THIS (1) doesn’t lead then KISSMELVIS (5) likely will and he’s a dangerous pacer out and rolling in front, while the aforementioned FIDES (8) will relish being coiled up along the pegs first-up from a break and RADIUS (7) is thriving now he’s finally playing enforcer on a regular basis, which always seemed his tactical strength.

Traditionally regarded as a front-line speedster, Marg Lee’s former gun juvenile relished racing off the pace last weekend and should feel similarly tonight. For that reason, he rates slightly clear of CANT TOP THIS (1) but the contest certainly doesn’t finish there. If CANT TOP THIS (1) doesn’t lead then KISSMELVIS (5) likely will and he’s a dangerous pacer out and rolling in front, while the aforementioned FIDES (8) will relish being coiled up along the pegs first-up from a break and RADIUS (7) is thriving now he’s finally playing enforcer on a regular basis, which always seemed his tactical strength.

OVERVIEW: Most of us fortunate enough to stand trackside as CANT TOP THIS (1) smashed a long-standing track record during the recent Mildura Carnival would find it almost inconceivable that he wouldn’t repeat the dose at Vic HQ tonight. Yet that concept is in play. The issue, you see for Emma Stewart’s powerful 4YO, is the draw. On a front line without epic early speed, CANT TOP THIS (1) may well hold up; and if he does then his only threat is FIDES (8) sitting on his back. On weights and balances, however, there’s every hope of that guy being crossed, or at least enduring ominous pressure from several rivals keenly aware of his Achilles Heel. Should that heat materialise as expected, the obvious beneficiary is JILLIBY NITRO (10). Traditionally regarded as a front-line speedster, Marg Lee’s former gun juvenile relished racing off the pace last weekend and should feel similarly tonight. For that reason, he rates slightly clear of CANT TOP THIS (1) but the contest certainly doesn’t finish there. If CANT TOP THIS (1) doesn’t lead then KISSMELVIS (5) likely will and he’s a dangerous pacer out and rolling in front, while the aforementioned FIDES (8) will relish being coiled up along the pegs first-up from a break and RADIUS (7) is thriving now he’s finally playing enforcer on a regular basis, which always seemed his tactical strength.
