Race comment
OVERVIEW: SAHARA TIGER (5) settled three back on the inside, was held up for a run at a vital stage and dashed through late when a big winner at Swan Hill last week. This race is slightly harder but he must be considered as a winning chance again. BERNIE WINKLE (7) has returned to winning form having been successful in three of his past four starts. He wasn’t overly impressive when everything went right in the run at Melton last week but he got the job done and he will be storming home at the finish. YORKSHIRE (6) loomed up to win but was run down by SAHARA TIGER (5) in the final 50m when second at Swan Hill last week. He is racing consistently and deserves to break through for a win. OZZIE BATTLER (4) is a brilliant beginner and should lead comfortably from his good draw. He enjoyed a nice run in the leading role and was run down by BERNIE WINKLE (7) over the latter stages when second at Melton on Wednesday. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2 RATINGS: 5,7/ 4,6/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SAHARA TIGER (5) settled three back on the inside, was held up for a run at a vital stage and dashed through late when a big winner at Swan Hill last week. This race is slightly harder but he must be considered as a winning chance again. BERNIE WINKLE (7) has returned to winning form having been successful in three of his past four starts. He wasn’t overly impressive when everything went right in the run at Melton last week but he got the job done and he will be storming home at the finish. YORKSHIRE (6) loomed up to win but was run down by SAHARA TIGER (5) in the final 50m when second at Swan Hill last week. He is racing consistently and deserves to break through for a win. OZZIE BATTLER (4) is a brilliant beginner and should lead comfortably from his good draw. He enjoyed a nice run in the leading role and was run down by BERNIE WINKLE (7) over the latter stages when second at Melton on Wednesday. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2 RATINGS: 5,7/ 4,6/ 2

This race is slightly harder but he must be considered as a winning chance again. BERNIE WINKLE (7) has returned to winning form having been successful in three of his past four starts. He wasn’t overly impressive when everything went right in the run at Melton last week but he got the job done and he will be storming home at the finish. YORKSHIRE (6) loomed up to win but was run down by SAHARA TIGER (5) in the final 50m when second at Swan Hill last week. He is racing consistently and deserves to break through for a win. OZZIE BATTLER (4) is a brilliant beginner and should lead comfortably from his good draw. He enjoyed a nice run in the leading role and was run down by BERNIE WINKLE (7) over the latter stages when second at Melton on Wednesday. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2 RATINGS: 5,7/ 4,6/ 2
