OVERVIEW: VIKING (5) endured a tough trip and was very brave in defeat when second behind Major Celebrity in a slick mile rate of 1.55.6 at Shepparton last outing. He was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished fast for third prior so he deserves a change in luck. NATIONAL NEWS (8) settled last of the six runners and finished off hard when second behind Sahara Breeze at Yarra Valley when resuming. He is a quality 4yo and should be finishing strongly again. NOMORELYING (4) has been placed at his past four attempts and was runner up behind the in-form pacer Our Vincent Can Gogh at his latest appearance. He should run his usual honest race from his handy draw. SHAQ (2) and BETTER DAY (3) are both worth thought in multiple combinations.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: VIKING (5) endured a tough trip and was very brave in defeat when second behind Major Celebrity in a slick mile rate of 1.55.6 at Shepparton last outing. He was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished fast for third prior so he deserves a change in luck. NATIONAL NEWS (8) settled last of the six runners and finished off hard when second behind Sahara Breeze at Yarra Valley when resuming. He is a quality 4yo and should be finishing strongly again. NOMORELYING (4) has been placed at his past four attempts and was runner up behind the in-form pacer Our Vincent Can Gogh at his latest appearance. He should run his usual honest race from his handy draw. SHAQ (2) and BETTER DAY (3) are both worth thought in multiple combinations.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: VIKING (5) endured a tough trip and was very brave in defeat when second behind Major Celebrity in a slick mile rate of 1.55.6 at Shepparton last outing. He was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished fast for third prior so he deserves a change in luck. NATIONAL NEWS (8) settled last of the six runners and finished off hard when second behind Sahara Breeze at Yarra Valley when resuming. He is a quality 4yo and should be finishing strongly again. NOMORELYING (4) has been placed at his past four attempts and was runner up behind the in-form pacer Our Vincent Can Gogh at his latest appearance. He should run his usual honest race from his handy draw. SHAQ (2) and BETTER DAY (3) are both worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,2,3 RATINGS: 5/ 8/ 2,3,4/ 1,6,7/ 9
