OVERVIEW: DON’T NEED AN EXCUSE (6) didn’t perform up to expectations when ninth ($2-20 fav) after setting the speed at Melton last outing but his form prior was outstanding. He finished fast when third in a mile rate of 1.54.8 at Melton two starts ago and is dropping back from the Metropolitan class for this event so he should take beating. RUBY WINGATE (5) began fast before taking cover when second behind Soextra at Ballarat last week. Her sixth prior was in the Mares Sprint Championship so she appears to be better placed in this event. WHATS STANLEY GOT (3) was headed off from the pole position and ended up being four back on the markers when a fast finishing second behind Something Bettor at Melton last outing. He possesses a powerful finishing burst and will take holding out if he gains the right luck in running. ROMANY BROWN (1) scored from behind the leader at Geelong on June 01 so he is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 6/ 3,5/ 1/ 4/ 2,7

OVERVIEW: DON’T NEED AN EXCUSE (6) didn’t perform up to expectations when ninth ($2-20 fav) after setting the speed at Melton last outing but his form prior was outstanding. He finished fast when third in a mile rate of 1.54.8 at Melton two starts ago and is dropping back from the Metropolitan class for this event so he should take beating. RUBY WINGATE (5) began fast before taking cover when second behind Soextra at Ballarat last week. Her sixth prior was in the Mares Sprint Championship so she appears to be better placed in this event. WHATS STANLEY GOT (3) was headed off from the pole position and ended up being four back on the markers when a fast finishing second behind Something Bettor at Melton last outing. He possesses a powerful finishing burst and will take holding out if he gains the right luck in running.

Her sixth prior was in the Mares Sprint Championship so she appears to be better placed in this event. WHATS STANLEY GOT (3) was headed off from the pole position and ended up being four back on the markers when a fast finishing second behind Something Bettor at Melton last outing. He possesses a powerful finishing burst and will take holding out if he gains the right luck in running. ROMANY BROWN (1) scored from behind the leader at Geelong on June 01 so he is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 6/ 3,5/ 1/ 4/ 2,7
