Race comment
OVERVIEW: ACT NOW (5) produced a brilliant finish from a rearward position to take out the Victoria Cup at his latest attempt after a third in the Kilmore Cup. He was a genuine front runner early in his career but he has really adapted nicely to open class racing and he should prove hard to beat again. CATCH A WAVE (4) produced a huge performance in the Victoria Cup after he was caught wide early, restrained to last and came with a booming finish out wide on the track to pick up second. He worked hard mid-race when third in easier grade last week but he is too good to dismiss. BETTER ECLIPSE (6) trailed the leader in the Victoria Cup and failed to beat a runner to the line but he did use energy to hold his position at the start and he races best when saved up for one final shot at the leaders. He used the sprint lane to win the Kilmore Cup prior and is worth another chance. BEYOND DELIGHT (2) produced a big finish when second in the Kilmore Cup then had little luck in the Victoria Cup. He is worth thought along with MAJOR MOTH (1), which missed out narrowly from behind the leader in the Geelong Cup when resuming. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 5/ 4,6/ 2/ 1/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: ACT NOW (5) produced a brilliant finish from a rearward position to take out the Victoria Cup at his latest attempt after a third in the Kilmore Cup. He was a genuine front runner early in his career but he has really adapted nicely to open class racing and he should prove hard to beat again. CATCH A WAVE (4) produced a huge performance in the Victoria Cup after he was caught wide early, restrained to last and came with a booming finish out wide on the track to pick up second. He worked hard mid-race when third in easier grade last week but he is too good to dismiss. BETTER ECLIPSE (6) trailed the leader in the Victoria Cup and failed to beat a runner to the line but he did use energy to hold his position at the start and he races best when saved up for one final shot at the leaders. He used the sprint lane to win the Kilmore Cup prior and is worth another chance. BEYOND DELIGHT (2) produced a big finish when second in the Kilmore Cup then had little luck in the Victoria Cup. He is worth thought along with MAJOR MOTH (1), which missed out narrowly from behind the leader in the Geelong Cup when resuming. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 1,2,4 RATINGS: 5/ 4,6/ 2/ 1/ 3
