Race comment
OVERVIEW: OORAH (4) is racing well outside of his class range, which is a concern, but he possesses brilliant speed and recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.1 when he was resuming at Terang so he will take catching. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) and STIR ME UP (3) will both be aiming for the perfect position behind OORAH (4) in the early stages and that battle might be the key to the result. At Terang, all of those horses following the markers behind OORAH (4) filled the first five placings with such a hectic tempo throughout and the same could occur here. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) ran a brave third at Geelong last outing and STIR ME UP (3) was a close second behind Mitzi Said. RADIUS (8) trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and missed out by a narrow margin behind Rakero Slammer at Geelong. He is very strong and should be suited from the trailing draw on the second line in a fast tempo so he warrants respect. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 1,3 RATINGS: 4/ 1,8/ 3/ 11/ 6,7,11/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OORAH (4) is racing well outside of his class range, which is a concern, but he possesses brilliant speed and recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.1 when he was resuming at Terang so he will take catching. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) and STIR ME UP (3) will both be aiming for the perfect position behind OORAH (4) in the early stages and that battle might be the key to the result. At Terang, all of those horses following the markers behind OORAH (4) filled the first five placings with such a hectic tempo throughout and the same could occur here. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) ran a brave third at Geelong last outing and STIR ME UP (3) was a close second behind Mitzi Said. RADIUS (8) trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and missed out by a narrow margin behind Rakero Slammer at Geelong. He is very strong and should be suited from the trailing draw on the second line in a fast tempo so he warrants respect. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 1,3 RATINGS: 4/ 1,8/ 3/ 11/ 6,7,11/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OORAH (4) is racing well outside of his class range, which is a concern, but he possesses brilliant speed and recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.1 when he was resuming at Terang so he will take catching. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) and STIR ME UP (3) will both be aiming for the perfect position behind OORAH (4) in the early stages and that battle might be the key to the result. At Terang, all of those horses following the markers behind OORAH (4) filled the first five placings with such a hectic tempo throughout and the same could occur here. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) ran a brave third at Geelong last outing and STIR ME UP (3) was a close second behind Mitzi Said. RADIUS (8) trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and missed out by a narrow margin behind Rakero Slammer at Geelong. He is very strong and should be suited from the trailing draw on the second line in a fast tempo so he warrants respect. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 1,3 RATINGS: 4/ 1,8/ 3/ 11/ 6,7,11/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OORAH (4) is racing well outside of his class range, which is a concern, but he possesses brilliant speed and recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.1 when he was resuming at Terang so he will take catching. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) and STIR ME UP (3) will both be aiming for the perfect position behind OORAH (4) in the early stages and that battle might be the key to the result. At Terang, all of those horses following the markers behind OORAH (4) filled the first five placings with such a hectic tempo throughout and the same could occur here. FRANCO NOVELIST (1) ran a brave third at Geelong last outing and STIR ME UP (3) was a close second behind Mitzi Said. RADIUS (8) trailed the leader, used the sprint lane and missed out by a narrow margin behind Rakero Slammer at Geelong. He is very strong and should be suited from the trailing draw on the second line in a fast tempo so he warrants respect. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 1,3 RATINGS: 4/ 1,8/ 3/ 11/ 6,7,11/ field
