Race comment
OVERVIEW: HATCHBACK (5) was driven aggressively from the second line to find the front and scored comfortably against slightly easier opposition on February 11. His overall form is strong and he is likely to give another forward showing. NEPHEW OF SONOKO (7) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and should make his presence felt. He made it through to the Inter Dominion Final last season and he has been freshened since his latest unplaced run in the Maori Mile. VICTREE HILL (1) is a speedy trotter and is drawn to receive every chance. He began slowly from the standing start and was doing his best work late when sixth behind One Over All at Melton last week. BULLION HARRY (3) is stepping up in class from his latest victory over Whizzbang Dan but he is a durable trotter with a good record so he cannot be discarded. OFORTUNA (6) began fast to find the lead, ran along at a genuine tempo and held off the late challenge of One Over All (won since) at Melton last outing. She also made it through to the Inter Dominion Final last season and won a heat of that series so she must be rated highly. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 3,4,6 RATINGS: 5/ 7/ 1,3,6/ 4/ 2

OVERVIEW: HATCHBACK (5) was driven aggressively from the second line to find the front and scored comfortably against slightly easier opposition on February 11. His overall form is strong and he is likely to give another forward showing. NEPHEW OF SONOKO (7) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and should make his presence felt. He made it through to the Inter Dominion Final last season and he has been freshened since his latest unplaced run in the Maori Mile. VICTREE HILL (1) is a speedy trotter and is drawn to receive every chance. He began slowly from the standing start and was doing his best work late when sixth behind One Over All at Melton last week. BULLION HARRY (3) is stepping up in class from his latest victory over Whizzbang Dan but he is a durable trotter with a good record so he cannot be discarded. OFORTUNA (6) began fast to find the lead, ran along at a genuine tempo and held off the late challenge of One Over All (won since) at Melton last outing. She also made it through to the Inter Dominion Final last season and won a heat of that series so she must be rated highly. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 3,4,6 RATINGS: 5/ 7/ 1,3,6/ 4/ 2

VICTREE HILL (1) is a speedy trotter and is drawn to receive every chance. He began slowly from the standing start and was doing his best work late when sixth behind One Over All at Melton last week. BULLION HARRY (3) is stepping up in class from his latest victory over Whizzbang Dan but he is a durable trotter with a good record so he cannot be discarded. OFORTUNA (6) began fast to find the lead, ran along at a genuine tempo and held off the late challenge of One Over All (won since) at Melton last outing. She also made it through to the Inter Dominion Final last season and won a heat of that series so she must be rated highly. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 3,4,6 RATINGS: 5/ 7/ 1,3,6/ 4/ 2
