Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is an open race to commence the program with many winning chances. SPECULATOR (9) was placed at Geelong and Swan Hill then didn’t have much luck at his past two attempts, the latest where he was held up for a run at a vital stage. He should be finding the line strongly from the trailing draw. MURIEL (4) has some ability but is not fool proof and over-raced badly at her Victorian debut. She has performed nicely at the trials and she didn’t have much luck last time out so she is not without a chance. TUAKANA (5) hasn’t been far away from the winner at his past two attempts and should be ready to strike his peak form after having two starts back from a spell. He is likely to go forward at the start and should be competitive against this line up. ROYAL EDARD (8) ran a reasonable race for fourth behind Roam at Shepparton last week. That was his first run since April so he should be fitter and he is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,5 RATINGS: 9/ 4,5/ 8/ 1,7/ 3

OVERVIEW: It is an open race to commence the program with many winning chances. SPECULATOR (9) was placed at Geelong and Swan Hill then didn’t have much luck at his past two attempts, the latest where he was held up for a run at a vital stage. He should be finding the line strongly from the trailing draw. MURIEL (4) has some ability but is not fool proof and over-raced badly at her Victorian debut. She has performed nicely at the trials and she didn’t have much luck last time out so she is not without a chance.

TUAKANA (5) hasn’t been far away from the winner at his past two attempts and should be ready to strike his peak form after having two starts back from a spell. He is likely to go forward at the start and should be competitive against this line up. ROYAL EDARD (8) ran a reasonable race for fourth behind Roam at Shepparton last week.

OVERVIEW: It is an open race to commence the program with many winning chances. SPECULATOR (9) was placed at Geelong and Swan Hill then didn’t have much luck at his past two attempts, the latest where he was held up for a run at a vital stage. He should be finding the line strongly from the trailing draw. MURIEL (4) has some ability but is not fool proof and over-raced badly at her Victorian debut. She has performed nicely at the trials and she didn’t have much luck last time out so she is not without a chance. TUAKANA (5) hasn’t been far away from the winner at his past two attempts and should be ready to strike his peak form after having two starts back from a spell. He is likely to go forward at the start and should be competitive against this line up. ROYAL EDARD (8) ran a reasonable race for fourth behind Roam at Shepparton last week.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is an open race to commence the program with many winning chances. SPECULATOR (9) was placed at Geelong and Swan Hill then didn’t have much luck at his past two attempts, the latest where he was held up for a run at a vital stage. He should be finding the line strongly from the trailing draw. MURIEL (4) has some ability but is not fool proof and over-raced badly at her Victorian debut. She has performed nicely at the trials and she didn’t have much luck last time out so she is not without a chance. TUAKANA (5) hasn’t been far away from the winner at his past two attempts and should be ready to strike his peak form after having two starts back from a spell. He is likely to go forward at the start and should be competitive against this line up. ROYAL EDARD (8) ran a reasonable race for fourth behind Roam at Shepparton last week. That was his first run since April so he should be fitter and he is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,5 RATINGS: 9/ 4,5/ 8/ 1,7/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is an open race to commence the program with many winning chances. SPECULATOR (9) was placed at Geelong and Swan Hill then didn’t have much luck at his past two attempts, the latest where he was held up for a run at a vital stage. He should be finding the line strongly from the trailing draw. MURIEL (4) has some ability but is not fool proof and over-raced badly at her Victorian debut. She has performed nicely at the trials and she didn’t have much luck last time out so she is not without a chance. TUAKANA (5) hasn’t been far away from the winner at his past two attempts and should be ready to strike his peak form after having two starts back from a spell. He is likely to go forward at the start and should be competitive against this line up. ROYAL EDARD (8) ran a reasonable race for fourth behind Roam at Shepparton last week. That was his first run since April so he should be fitter and he is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,5 RATINGS: 9/ 4,5/ 8/ 1,7/ 3
