Race comment
OVERVIEW: THE ONLY DECISION (2) was beaten by a very long way at his Australian debut but he took on his boom stable mate Captain Ravishing in the 4yo Bonanza and the mile rate was 1.50.9! Considering he was prepared to have a crack at that feature event first up would be a strong form pointer to this much easier grade. FRANCO NOVELIST (5) gained a nice run in the leading role but was able to dash home in a sizzling final half of 55.6 seconds when winning at Kilmore last week. He was very unlucky on his Australian debut prior and is worth following. JACCKA CONNOR (7) remains undefeated in two starts since coming from New Zealand and should be competitive again. He is stepping up in grade but he has appeared to be very lazy in the front running role at his two local runs to date so there is plenty of scope for improvement. OOH AH LISTAH (3) and MODERN JIVE (6) are both racing well enough to be considered as place hopes. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,5 RATINGS: 2/ 5,7/ 3/ 6/ 1/ 4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: THE ONLY DECISION (2) was beaten by a very long way at his Australian debut but he took on his boom stable mate Captain Ravishing in the 4yo Bonanza and the mile rate was 1.50.9! Considering he was prepared to have a crack at that feature event first up would be a strong form pointer to this much easier grade. FRANCO NOVELIST (5) gained a nice run in the leading role but was able to dash home in a sizzling final half of 55.6 seconds when winning at Kilmore last week. He was very unlucky on his Australian debut prior and is worth following. JACCKA CONNOR (7) remains undefeated in two starts since coming from New Zealand and should be competitive again. He is stepping up in grade but he has appeared to be very lazy in the front running role at his two local runs to date so there is plenty of scope for improvement. OOH AH LISTAH (3) and MODERN JIVE (6) are both racing well enough to be considered as place hopes. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 1,3,5 RATINGS: 2/ 5,7/ 3/ 6/ 1/ 4
