OVERVIEW: Haven’t Victoria’s fast class contests dramatically evolved in recent weeks. At one point, not that long ago, it was the Bulletproof Boy and Shortys Mate show, then Triple Eight and Like A Wildfire rocked up and now it’s basically the four-year-old show. The two heaviest hitters engaged this evening are returning Chariots of Fire champ BETTER ECLIPSE (6) and burgeoning megastar ROCK N ROLL DOO (1). Again, that’s right, again, early tactics could and perhaps should decide the winner. One feature of the formative furlong we can all but guarantee is CHEROKEE JOE (2) crossing ROCK N ROLL DOO (1) out of the gate. But what happens then? The most likely scenario would see ROCK N ROLL DO (1) come straight off the pegs and effect a painless re-take though SPRING IN HIS STEP (5) and even BETTER ECLIPSE (6) may start quicker than normal in their bid to shut that option off. Even if he goes back early here, BETTER ECLIPSE (6) looks something pretty special and deserves top billing. Indeed, if G Sugars chances his arm and the Chariots winner has more gate speed than we’ve previously seen and finds the front it’s almost game over from there. As mentioned, the major threat is ROCK N ROLL DOO (1) who was an effortless winner fresh and will prove super tough to roll if he re-takes early on. The third proper winning chance is TANGO TARA (9) who has been there and done that at this level before while SPRING IN HIS STEP (5) and SHORTYS MATE (7) can flesh out wider exotic wagers should you opt to play that way tonight. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Fastest Beginner) + 1 (Potential Leader) + 4?,5,6? RATINGS: 6/ 1/ 9/ 5/ 7/ 4/ 3/ 8

OVERVIEW: Haven’t Victoria’s fast class contests dramatically evolved in recent weeks. At one point, not that long ago, it was the Bulletproof Boy and Shortys Mate show, then Triple Eight and Like A Wildfire rocked up and now it’s basically the four-year-old show. The two heaviest hitters engaged this evening are returning Chariots of Fire champ BETTER ECLIPSE (6) and burgeoning megastar ROCK N ROLL DOO (1). Again, that’s right, again, early tactics could and perhaps should decide the winner. One feature of the formative furlong we can all but guarantee is CHEROKEE JOE (2) crossing ROCK N ROLL DOO (1) out of the gate. But what happens then? The most likely scenario would see ROCK N ROLL DO (1) come straight off the pegs and effect a painless re-take though SPRING IN HIS STEP (5) and even BETTER ECLIPSE (6) may start quicker than normal in their bid to shut that option off. Even if he goes back early here, BETTER ECLIPSE (6) looks something pretty special and deserves top billing. Indeed, if G Sugars chances his arm and the Chariots winner has more gate speed than we’ve previously seen and finds the front it’s almost game over from there. As mentioned, the major threat is ROCK N ROLL DOO (1) who was an effortless winner fresh and will prove super tough to roll if he re-takes early on. The third proper winning chance is TANGO TARA (9) who has been there and done that at this level before while SPRING IN HIS STEP (5) and SHORTYS MATE (7) can flesh out wider exotic wagers should you opt to play that way tonight. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Fastest Beginner) + 1 (Potential Leader) + 4?,5,6? RATINGS: 6/ 1/ 9/ 5/ 7/ 4/ 3/ 8

OVERVIEW: Haven’t Victoria’s fast class contests dramatically evolved in recent weeks. At one point, not that long ago, it was the Bulletproof Boy and Shortys Mate show, then Triple Eight and Like A Wildfire rocked up and now it’s basically the four-year-old show. The two heaviest hitters engaged this evening are returning Chariots of Fire champ BETTER ECLIPSE (6) and burgeoning megastar ROCK N ROLL DOO (1). Again, that’s right, again, early tactics could and perhaps should decide the winner. One feature of the formative furlong we can all but guarantee is CHEROKEE JOE (2) crossing ROCK N ROLL DOO (1) out of the gate. But what happens then? The most likely scenario would see ROCK N ROLL DO (1) come straight off the pegs and effect a painless re-take though SPRING IN HIS STEP (5) and even BETTER ECLIPSE (6) may start quicker than normal in their bid to shut that option off. Even if he goes back early here, BETTER ECLIPSE (6) looks something pretty special and deserves top billing. Indeed, if G Sugars chances his arm and the Chariots winner has more gate speed than we’ve previously seen and finds the front it’s almost game over from there. As mentioned, the major threat is ROCK N ROLL DOO (1) who was an effortless winner fresh and will prove super tough to roll if he re-takes early on. The third proper winning chance is TANGO TARA (9) who has been there and done that at this level before while SPRING IN HIS STEP (5) and SHORTYS MATE (7) can flesh out wider exotic wagers should you opt to play that way tonight. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Fastest Beginner) + 1 (Potential Leader) + 4?,5,6? RATINGS: 6/ 1/ 9/ 5/ 7/ 4/ 3/ 8
