Race comment
OVERVIEW: BAY OF BISCAY (10) is resuming since a fifth in a semi-final of the Super Series behind Stormryder in September and appears to be ideally placed against this line up. He won the Shakamaker Classic and finished second in the Nutrien Final during his juvenile season so he is a classy performer. POPCORNFRIDAY (4) began very quickly to lead then took cover behind the smart pacer Fighter Command when a game second in a mile rate of 1.55.6 last week. He is a chance again in this grade, particularly if he can adopt similar tactics to last week. LAYDEN (3) trailed the leader and went to the line jogging with no clear run when third behind Wotdidusaaay at Ballarat last outing. He was unlucky last time and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth following. LENARD ESS (9) is also a handy sprinter that has won two of his past four starts and worked home well for fourth behind Clymenus at Cranbourne last week. He will be suited by the trailing draw and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,6 RATINGS: 10/ 3,4/ 9/ 8/ 1

OVERVIEW: BAY OF BISCAY (10) is resuming since a fifth in a semi-final of the Super Series behind Stormryder in September and appears to be ideally placed against this line up. He won the Shakamaker Classic and finished second in the Nutrien Final during his juvenile season so he is a classy performer. POPCORNFRIDAY (4) began very quickly to lead then took cover behind the smart pacer Fighter Command when a game second in a mile rate of 1.55.6 last week. He is a chance again in this grade, particularly if he can adopt similar tactics to last week. LAYDEN (3) trailed the leader and went to the line jogging with no clear run when third behind Wotdidusaaay at Ballarat last outing. He was unlucky last time and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth following. LENARD ESS (9) is also a handy sprinter that has won two of his past four starts and worked home well for fourth behind Clymenus at Cranbourne last week. He will be suited by the trailing draw and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,6 RATINGS: 10/ 3,4/ 9/ 8/ 1

OVERVIEW: BAY OF BISCAY (10) is resuming since a fifth in a semi-final of the Super Series behind Stormryder in September and appears to be ideally placed against this line up. He won the Shakamaker Classic and finished second in the Nutrien Final during his juvenile season so he is a classy performer. POPCORNFRIDAY (4) began very quickly to lead then took cover behind the smart pacer Fighter Command when a game second in a mile rate of 1.55.6 last week. He is a chance again in this grade, particularly if he can adopt similar tactics to last week. LAYDEN (3) trailed the leader and went to the line jogging with no clear run when third behind Wotdidusaaay at Ballarat last outing. He was unlucky last time and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth following. LENARD ESS (9) is also a handy sprinter that has won two of his past four starts and worked home well for fourth behind Clymenus at Cranbourne last week. He will be suited by the trailing draw and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 4,6 RATINGS: 10/ 3,4/ 9/ 8/ 1
