Race comment
OVERVIEW: SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) led throughout from the pole position and defeated a similar field at Melton last week so he should prove hard to beat again. He is a tough type and will be looking to find the lead again from his good draw. BOLLINGER (12) is resuming since an eighth at Melton in June but he finished fast when an eye-catching second at a trial two weeks ago and followed with another second in fast time on Monday. His form in New Zealand was strong so he rates highly. FYNN FROST (11) possesses a powerful finishing burst and appears to be well graded in this event with the aid of a concession claim so he cannot be underestimated. MAJOR COLLECT (2) was able to angle in behind SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) at the start and tried hard for second last week. He will be looking for the same position here but MODERN BLISS (1) is a fast beginner drawn on his inside so the start is crucial to his chances. DIAMOND SHOOZ (4), HOLY BASIL (6), POST GAME (8) and IMNOPUMPKIN (13), which made up a staggering amount of ground after making an early error in a mile rate of 1.53.0 at Bendigo last week, all have claims in a very strong race to commence the program. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2,6 RATINGS: 3/ 11,12/ 2,4,6/ 8,13

OVERVIEW: SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) led throughout from the pole position and defeated a similar field at Melton last week so he should prove hard to beat again. He is a tough type and will be looking to find the lead again from his good draw. BOLLINGER (12) is resuming since an eighth at Melton in June but he finished fast when an eye-catching second at a trial two weeks ago and followed with another second in fast time on Monday. His form in New Zealand was strong so he rates highly. FYNN FROST (11) possesses a powerful finishing burst and appears to be well graded in this event with the aid of a concession claim so he cannot be underestimated. MAJOR COLLECT (2) was able to angle in behind SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) at the start and tried hard for second last week. He will be looking for the same position here but MODERN BLISS (1) is a fast beginner drawn on his inside so the start is crucial to his chances. DIAMOND SHOOZ (4), HOLY BASIL (6), POST GAME (8) and IMNOPUMPKIN (13), which made up a staggering amount of ground after making an early error in a mile rate of 1.53.0 at Bendigo last week, all have claims in a very strong race to commence the program. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2,6 RATINGS: 3/ 11,12/ 2,4,6/ 8,13

OVERVIEW: SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) led throughout from the pole position and defeated a similar field at Melton last week so he should prove hard to beat again. He is a tough type and will be looking to find the lead again from his good draw. BOLLINGER (12) is resuming since an eighth at Melton in June but he finished fast when an eye-catching second at a trial two weeks ago and followed with another second in fast time on Monday. His form in New Zealand was strong so he rates highly. FYNN FROST (11) possesses a powerful finishing burst and appears to be well graded in this event with the aid of a concession claim so he cannot be underestimated. MAJOR COLLECT (2) was able to angle in behind SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) at the start and tried hard for second last week. He will be looking for the same position here but MODERN BLISS (1) is a fast beginner drawn on his inside so the start is crucial to his chances. DIAMOND SHOOZ (4), HOLY BASIL (6), POST GAME (8) and IMNOPUMPKIN (13), which made up a staggering amount of ground after making an early error in a mile rate of 1.53.0 at Bendigo last week, all have claims in a very strong race to commence the program. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,2,6 RATINGS: 3/ 11,12/ 2,4,6/ 8,13

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) led throughout from the pole position and defeated a similar field at Melton last week so he should prove hard to beat again. He is a tough type and will be looking to find the lead again from his good draw. BOLLINGER (12) is resuming since an eighth at Melton in June but he finished fast when an eye-catching second at a trial two weeks ago and followed with another second in fast time on Monday. His form in New Zealand was strong so he rates highly. FYNN FROST (11) possesses a powerful finishing burst and appears to be well graded in this event with the aid of a concession claim so he cannot be underestimated. MAJOR COLLECT (2) was able to angle in behind SOLESSEO MATUCA (3) at the start and tried hard for second last week. He will be looking for the same position here but MODERN BLISS (1) is a fast beginner drawn on his inside so the start is crucial to his chances. DIAMOND SHOOZ (4), HOLY BASIL (6), POST GAME (8) and IMNOPUMPKIN (13), which made up a staggering amount of ground after making an early error in a mile rate of 1.53.0 at Bendigo last week, all have claims in a very strong race to commence the program.
