OVERVIEW: Former Kiwi speed machine CHINESE WHISPER (8) has been a headache horse for both punters and connections since arriving on Victorian soil but there are growing signs, from the mobile at least, that one of Australasia’s fastest squaregaiters is finally sorting his manners. Based on recent interviews, there’s every chance CHINESE WHISPER (8) will be nominated for next weekend’s Great Southern Star; and should that be the case then he must prevail tonight. Realistically, the only rival with the scope to beat that fellow this evening is his rapidly improving stablemate CENTRAL OTAGO (2). Despite his improvement, CENTRAL OTAGO (2) still lacks the class of his older co-habitant, but offsets that to some degree with an ideal alley, one that – more than likely – should see him out in front soon after the start. Beyond that pair there are several very nice horses like SHEZA PLEASURE (5) and HATCHBACK (7) that possess above average talent but will need the bad-old version of CHINESE WHISPER (8) to tock up if they’re to have any serious chance of winning. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Likely Initial Leader) + 1,3 + 4?,5?,7? RATINGS: 8/ 2/ 5/ 7/ 3/ 4/ 1/ 6

OVERVIEW: Former Kiwi speed machine CHINESE WHISPER (8) has been a headache horse for both punters and connections since arriving on Victorian soil but there are growing signs, from the mobile at least, that one of Australasia’s fastest squaregaiters is finally sorting his manners. Based on recent interviews, there’s every chance CHINESE WHISPER (8) will be nominated for next weekend’s Great Southern Star; and should that be the case then he must prevail tonight. Realistically, the only rival with the scope to beat that fellow this evening is his rapidly improving stablemate CENTRAL OTAGO (2). Despite his improvement, CENTRAL OTAGO (2) still lacks the class of his older co-habitant, but offsets that to some degree with an ideal alley, one that – more than likely – should see him out in front soon after the start. Beyond that pair there are several very nice horses like SHEZA PLEASURE (5) and HATCHBACK (7) that possess above average talent but will need the bad-old version of CHINESE WHISPER (8) to tock up if they’re to have any serious chance of winning.

OVERVIEW: Former Kiwi speed machine CHINESE WHISPER (8) has been a headache horse for both punters and connections since arriving on Victorian soil but there are growing signs, from the mobile at least, that one of Australasia’s fastest squaregaiters is finally sorting his manners. Based on recent interviews, there’s every chance CHINESE WHISPER (8) will be nominated for next weekend’s Great Southern Star; and should that be the case then he must prevail tonight. Realistically, the only rival with the scope to beat that fellow this evening is his rapidly improving stablemate CENTRAL OTAGO (2). Despite his improvement, CENTRAL OTAGO (2) still lacks the class of his older co-habitant, but offsets that to some degree with an ideal alley, one that – more than likely – should see him out in front soon after the start. Beyond that pair there are several very nice horses like SHEZA PLEASURE (5) and HATCHBACK (7) that possess above average talent but will need the bad-old version of CHINESE WHISPER (8) to tock up if they’re to have any serious chance of winning.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Former Kiwi speed machine CHINESE WHISPER (8) has been a headache horse for both punters and connections since arriving on Victorian soil but there are growing signs, from the mobile at least, that one of Australasia’s fastest squaregaiters is finally sorting his manners. Based on recent interviews, there’s every chance CHINESE WHISPER (8) will be nominated for next weekend’s Great Southern Star; and should that be the case then he must prevail tonight. Realistically, the only rival with the scope to beat that fellow this evening is his rapidly improving stablemate CENTRAL OTAGO (2). Despite his improvement, CENTRAL OTAGO (2) still lacks the class of his older co-habitant, but offsets that to some degree with an ideal alley, one that – more than likely – should see him out in front soon after the start. Beyond that pair there are several very nice horses like SHEZA PLEASURE (5) and HATCHBACK (7) that possess above average talent but will need the bad-old version of CHINESE WHISPER (8) to tock up if they’re to have any serious chance of winning. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Likely Initial Leader) + 1,3 + 4?,5?,7? RATINGS: 8/ 2/ 5/ 7/ 3/ 4/ 1/ 6
