OVERVIEW: EAGLE WATCH (12) raced without cover and battled on strongly for a close second behind Ever Hoping in a slick mile rate of 1.54.9 prior to finishing eighth at Metropolitan level last outing. He will find this assignment to be easier and he recorded slick time in a Maryborough trial victory last week so a bold showing is expected. WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (8) is a former New Zealand pacer, which finished fast to win at his Australian debut then followed with a second behind HANGING FIRE (11) at Hamilton. He is awkwardly drawn but should be hitting the line strongly. HANGING FIRE (11) has been racing in peak form having won three of his past five starts. He led throughout and dashed home in a sizzling final quarter of 26.4 seconds to win at Hamilton last week and he should be competitive again. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (1) has been racing competitively against the 3yo Metropolitan class and is ideally drawn so she cannot be left out of calculations.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: EAGLE WATCH (12) raced without cover and battled on strongly for a close second behind Ever Hoping in a slick mile rate of 1.54.9 prior to finishing eighth at Metropolitan level last outing. He will find this assignment to be easier and he recorded slick time in a Maryborough trial victory last week so a bold showing is expected. WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (8) is a former New Zealand pacer, which finished fast to win at his Australian debut then followed with a second behind HANGING FIRE (11) at Hamilton. He is awkwardly drawn but should be hitting the line strongly. HANGING FIRE (11) has been racing in peak form having won three of his past five starts. He led throughout and dashed home in a sizzling final quarter of 26.4 seconds to win at Hamilton last week and he should be competitive again. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (1) has been racing competitively against the 3yo Metropolitan class and is ideally drawn so she cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 12/ 8,11/ 1/ 7,10/ 3,5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: EAGLE WATCH (12) raced without cover and battled on strongly for a close second behind Ever Hoping in a slick mile rate of 1.54.9 prior to finishing eighth at Metropolitan level last outing. He will find this assignment to be easier and he recorded slick time in a Maryborough trial victory last week so a bold showing is expected. WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (8) is a former New Zealand pacer, which finished fast to win at his Australian debut then followed with a second behind HANGING FIRE (11) at Hamilton. He is awkwardly drawn but should be hitting the line strongly. HANGING FIRE (11) has been racing in peak form having won three of his past five starts. He led throughout and dashed home in a sizzling final quarter of 26.4 seconds to win at Hamilton last week and he should be competitive again. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (1) has been racing competitively against the 3yo Metropolitan class and is ideally drawn so she cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 12/ 8,11/ 1/ 7,10/ 3,5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: EAGLE WATCH (12) raced without cover and battled on strongly for a close second behind Ever Hoping in a slick mile rate of 1.54.9 prior to finishing eighth at Metropolitan level last outing. He will find this assignment to be easier and he recorded slick time in a Maryborough trial victory last week so a bold showing is expected. WE BETTOR BELIEVE IT (8) is a former New Zealand pacer, which finished fast to win at his Australian debut then followed with a second behind HANGING FIRE (11) at Hamilton. He is awkwardly drawn but should be hitting the line strongly. HANGING FIRE (11) has been racing in peak form having won three of his past five starts. He led throughout and dashed home in a sizzling final quarter of 26.4 seconds to win at Hamilton last week and he should be competitive again. NOTHINGBUTWAVES (1) has been racing competitively against the 3yo Metropolitan class and is ideally drawn so she cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 12/ 8,11/ 1/ 7,10/ 3,5
