OVERVIEW: SWEETPASSION (6) finished off quickly to score in a mile rate of 1.54.7 at Bendigo two starts ago then followed with a fourth against the Metropolitan class at Melton. He is a speedy 4yo and will appreciate a drop back in class on his latest performance so he should prove hard to beat. LUVBITE (2) began brilliantly to lead and was able to hold off his rivals to get the prize in a career best mile rate of 1.55.4 at Ballarat last outing. He is a bold front running gelding and should be hard to catch from his good draw. MARTIN MAGIC (1) races best when he is close to the speed and is likely to end up securing the position behind the leader so he is worth thought. RIO ROCK (4) has won three of her five starts since resuming from a break and finished sixth behind Star Celebrity in a very strong race last time out. She is a fast mare and should prove hard to beat again. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 1,3,4,7 RATINGS: 6/ 2/ 1,4/ 3,7/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SWEETPASSION (6) finished off quickly to score in a mile rate of 1.54.7 at Bendigo two starts ago then followed with a fourth against the Metropolitan class at Melton. He is a speedy 4yo and will appreciate a drop back in class on his latest performance so he should prove hard to beat. LUVBITE (2) began brilliantly to lead and was able to hold off his rivals to get the prize in a career best mile rate of 1.55.4 at Ballarat last outing. He is a bold front running gelding and should be hard to catch from his good draw. MARTIN MAGIC (1) races best when he is close to the speed and is likely to end up securing the position behind the leader so he is worth thought. RIO ROCK (4) has won three of her five starts since resuming from a break and finished sixth behind Star Celebrity in a very strong race last time out. She is a fast mare and should prove hard to beat again. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 1,3,4,7 RATINGS: 6/ 2/ 1,4/ 3,7/ 5
