Race comment
OVERVIEW: SON OF THE SHARK (4) is racing in career best form and should be very competitive under these conditions. He scored three times in succession prior to a close second behind the in-form pacer Rakero Slammer in a slick mile rate of 1.55.1 at Shepparton last week. MONGIANA (9) was out of position at the start by approximately 30m, chased hard and tacked on with 900m remaining when ninth (14m) in the race won by Rakero Slammer at Shepparton. His effort was enormous under the circumstances and he was placed at his previous two attempts so he should be competitive if he is able to get away cleanly. SOFALA (3) finished off fast to down Earl of Pembroke in a slick mile rate of 1.55.9 at Swan Hill then performed below expectations at Bendigo. He is nicely drawn and is usually competitive against this class so he is worth another chance. ATOMICSTAR (2) is an interesting runner. He showed very good gate speed to lead out then took cover but galloped 300m after the start when unplaced at Menangle last time out. He was stood down to trial and finished fourth at his latest Shepparton trial performance. He is better than his numerical form reads and has the early speed to be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2,3? 7 RATINGS: 4/ 9/ 2,3/ 5,8/ 6,7/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SON OF THE SHARK (4) is racing in career best form and should be very competitive under these conditions. He scored three times in succession prior to a close second behind the in-form pacer Rakero Slammer in a slick mile rate of 1.55.1 at Shepparton last week. MONGIANA (9) was out of position at the start by approximately 30m, chased hard and tacked on with 900m remaining when ninth (14m) in the race won by Rakero Slammer at Shepparton. His effort was enormous under the circumstances and he was placed at his previous two attempts so he should be competitive if he is able to get away cleanly. SOFALA (3) finished off fast to down Earl of Pembroke in a slick mile rate of 1.55.9 at Swan Hill then performed below expectations at Bendigo. He is nicely drawn and is usually competitive against this class so he is worth another chance. ATOMICSTAR (2) is an interesting runner. He showed very good gate speed to lead out then took cover but galloped 300m after the start when unplaced at Menangle last time out. He was stood down to trial and finished fourth at his latest Shepparton trial performance. He is better than his numerical form reads and has the early speed to be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2,3? 7 RATINGS: 4/ 9/ 2,3/ 5,8/ 6,7/ 1

OVERVIEW: SON OF THE SHARK (4) is racing in career best form and should be very competitive under these conditions. He scored three times in succession prior to a close second behind the in-form pacer Rakero Slammer in a slick mile rate of 1.55.1 at Shepparton last week. MONGIANA (9) was out of position at the start by approximately 30m, chased hard and tacked on with 900m remaining when ninth (14m) in the race won by Rakero Slammer at Shepparton. His effort was enormous under the circumstances and he was placed at his previous two attempts so he should be competitive if he is able to get away cleanly. SOFALA (3) finished off fast to down Earl of Pembroke in a slick mile rate of 1.55.9 at Swan Hill then performed below expectations at Bendigo. He is nicely drawn and is usually competitive against this class so he is worth another chance. ATOMICSTAR (2) is an interesting runner. He showed very good gate speed to lead out then took cover but galloped 300m after the start when unplaced at Menangle last time out. He was stood down to trial and finished fourth at his latest Shepparton trial performance. He is better than his numerical form reads and has the early speed to be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2,3? 7 RATINGS: 4/ 9/ 2,3/ 5,8/ 6,7/ 1
