Race comment
OVERVIEW: The fitness level of FIDES (9) is definitely the key to this event. He hasn’t raced since a second behind Fire Fox at Geelong over a year ago but he possesses explosive speed and is the winner of ten races from just twenty-eight starts. He will have benefited from two recent trial efforts, which yielded a win at Hamilton and a second in fast time at Terang so he must be rated highly. WHISKEY CAVALIER (4) was unsuited to racing without cover throughout last week and battled on very nicely for fifth behind Bulletproof Boy. He finished hard for second behind Private Eye prior and he does possess a powerful finishing burst so he is worth a ticket each way. IDEAL ESCAPE (3) continues to race in peak form and followed a strong win at Bendigo, where he worked forward to find the top, with a fourth behind Bulletproof Boy in the open class event last week. He is drawn to obtain a prominent position early and should go well again. ROARFORROSCOE (8) was unsuited in a slowly run race and did very well after coming out four horses wide at the 400m mark to run into second behind Arnies Army last week. He should be fitter from that run and is a quality 4yo pacer that should continue to perform well this campaign. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 4,9/ 3/ 8/ 1/ 2,7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: The fitness level of FIDES (9) is definitely the key to this event. He hasn’t raced since a second behind Fire Fox at Geelong over a year ago but he possesses explosive speed and is the winner of ten races from just twenty-eight starts. He will have benefited from two recent trial efforts, which yielded a win at Hamilton and a second in fast time at Terang so he must be rated highly. WHISKEY CAVALIER (4) was unsuited to racing without cover throughout last week and battled on very nicely for fifth behind Bulletproof Boy. He finished hard for second behind Private Eye prior and he does possess a powerful finishing burst so he is worth a ticket each way. IDEAL ESCAPE (3) continues to race in peak form and followed a strong win at Bendigo, where he worked forward to find the top, with a fourth behind Bulletproof Boy in the open class event last week. He is drawn to obtain a prominent position early and should go well again. ROARFORROSCOE (8) was unsuited in a slowly run race and did very well after coming out four horses wide at the 400m mark to run into second behind Arnies Army last week. He should be fitter from that run and is a quality 4yo pacer that should continue to perform well this campaign. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 4,9/ 3/ 8/ 1/ 2,7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: The fitness level of FIDES (9) is definitely the key to this event. He hasn’t raced since a second behind Fire Fox at Geelong over a year ago but he possesses explosive speed and is the winner of ten races from just twenty-eight starts. He will have benefited from two recent trial efforts, which yielded a win at Hamilton and a second in fast time at Terang so he must be rated highly. WHISKEY CAVALIER (4) was unsuited to racing without cover throughout last week and battled on very nicely for fifth behind Bulletproof Boy. He finished hard for second behind Private Eye prior and he does possess a powerful finishing burst so he is worth a ticket each way. IDEAL ESCAPE (3) continues to race in peak form and followed a strong win at Bendigo, where he worked forward to find the top, with a fourth behind Bulletproof Boy in the open class event last week. He is drawn to obtain a prominent position early and should go well again. ROARFORROSCOE (8) was unsuited in a slowly run race and did very well after coming out four horses wide at the 400m mark to run into second behind Arnies Army last week. He should be fitter from that run and is a quality 4yo pacer that should continue to perform well this campaign. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 4,9/ 3/ 8/ 1/ 2,7
