Race comment
OVERVIEW: OZZIE PLAYBOY (4) will find this race to be easier than his recent performances and gets his chance to break through for a win. He trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and missed out by a narrow margin behind Outlaw Man three starts ago and he has had no luck whatsoever at his past two attempts. MAJOR DELICO (3) will be able to utilise his gate speed to find a prominent position in the early stages. He went forward at the start, couldn’t find the front and eventually ended up in a trailing position when a close second behind Modern Bliss at his latest attempt. STEEL SCREENS (7) returned to his best form with a close second behind Common Courtesy in a mile rate of 1.53.7 at Melton last outing. He is a short course specialist and strikes a suitable assignment so he should be competitive despite the wide draw. CAPTAIN CONFETTI (6) is resuming since September and hasn’t been to the trials but he was competing against harder opposition when he was last in work so a forward showing would not surprise. BELITTLED (5) possesses a powerful finishing burst and MIRAKURU (8) would be competitive if he could return to his peak form. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 3,6,7 RATINGS: 4/ 3,6,7/ 5,8/ 1/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OZZIE PLAYBOY (4) will find this race to be easier than his recent performances and gets his chance to break through for a win. He trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and missed out by a narrow margin behind Outlaw Man three starts ago and he has had no luck whatsoever at his past two attempts. MAJOR DELICO (3) will be able to utilise his gate speed to find a prominent position in the early stages. He went forward at the start, couldn’t find the front and eventually ended up in a trailing position when a close second behind Modern Bliss at his latest attempt. STEEL SCREENS (7) returned to his best form with a close second behind Common Courtesy in a mile rate of 1.53.7 at Melton last outing. He is a short course specialist and strikes a suitable assignment so he should be competitive despite the wide draw. CAPTAIN CONFETTI (6) is resuming since September and hasn’t been to the trials but he was competing against harder opposition when he was last in work so a forward showing would not surprise. BELITTLED (5) possesses a powerful finishing burst and MIRAKURU (8) would be competitive if he could return to his peak form. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 3,6,7 RATINGS: 4/ 3,6,7/ 5,8/ 1/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OZZIE PLAYBOY (4) will find this race to be easier than his recent performances and gets his chance to break through for a win. He trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and missed out by a narrow margin behind Outlaw Man three starts ago and he has had no luck whatsoever at his past two attempts. MAJOR DELICO (3) will be able to utilise his gate speed to find a prominent position in the early stages. He went forward at the start, couldn’t find the front and eventually ended up in a trailing position when a close second behind Modern Bliss at his latest attempt. STEEL SCREENS (7) returned to his best form with a close second behind Common Courtesy in a mile rate of 1.53.7 at Melton last outing. He is a short course specialist and strikes a suitable assignment so he should be competitive despite the wide draw. CAPTAIN CONFETTI (6) is resuming since September and hasn’t been to the trials but he was competing against harder opposition when he was last in work so a forward showing would not surprise. BELITTLED (5) possesses a powerful finishing burst and MIRAKURU (8) would be competitive if he could return to his peak form. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 3,6,7 RATINGS: 4/ 3,6,7/ 5,8/ 1/ 2
