Race comment
OVERVIEW: WHAT OPTIMIST (10) is a former Queensland pacer, which joins trainer John McDermott. He performed soundly when a close second behind the Metropolitan class pacer Khaki Nui at a Bendigo trial last week so he must be respected. THE DUX (6) settled in a rearward position and finished well for fifth behind Lola Montez last week. He pushed forward to race without cover when he won prior so he is worth an investment. RONZEL SONNY (2) began fast but couldn’t find a position early and restrained into a trailing spot when an unlucky fifth at Kilmore. He is racing well and is worth an investment. COVEFFE HUSTLER (7) dropped out to last from a wide draw, switched to the markers and was running home well when third at Kilmore last week. He is widely drawn but won two races in succession in May and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,4,7 RATINGS: 6,10/ 2/ 7/ 11/ 3,8

He performed soundly when a close second behind the Metropolitan class pacer Khaki Nui at a Bendigo trial last week so he must be respected. THE DUX (6) settled in a rearward position and finished well for fifth behind Lola Montez last week. He pushed forward to race without cover when he won prior so he is worth an investment. RONZEL SONNY (2) began fast but couldn’t find a position early and restrained into a trailing spot when an unlucky fifth at Kilmore. He is racing well and is worth an investment. COVEFFE HUSTLER (7) dropped out to last from a wide draw, switched to the markers and was running home well when third at Kilmore last week. He is widely drawn but won two races in succession in May and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,4,7 RATINGS: 6,10/ 2/ 7/ 11/ 3,8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: WHAT OPTIMIST (10) is a former Queensland pacer, which joins trainer John McDermott. He performed soundly when a close second behind the Metropolitan class pacer Khaki Nui at a Bendigo trial last week so he must be respected. THE DUX (6) settled in a rearward position and finished well for fifth behind Lola Montez last week. He pushed forward to race without cover when he won prior so he is worth an investment. RONZEL SONNY (2) began fast but couldn’t find a position early and restrained into a trailing spot when an unlucky fifth at Kilmore. He is racing well and is worth an investment. COVEFFE HUSTLER (7) dropped out to last from a wide draw, switched to the markers and was running home well when third at Kilmore last week. He is widely drawn but won two races in succession in May and is worth an investment. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,4,7 RATINGS: 6,10/ 2/ 7/ 11/ 3,8
