Race comment
OVERVIEW: KING KULAFU (6) began fast and was vying for the lead on the first turn before breaking stride and losing his winning chance at Shepparton last week. He won two trials prior to that performance and will take beating if he does everything right. HAIR RAZOR (10) showed a glimpse of his best form when he worked home well for third at Ballarat last week. This is a race of similar quality and he is worth thought again. THEY CALL ME AL (11) finished third at a Melton trial last week and was runner up behind Sunshinefromheaven at Stawell on January 26 so he is not without a chance under these conditions. SPECULATOR (4) didn’t have much luck in the straight when unplaced at Geelong last outing. He worked home well for third at Cranbourne three starts ago and should be competitive against this line up. If the reserve VERY TEMPTING (1) gains a start, he will prove hard to beat. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader) (1), 2 RATINGS: 1,6/ 10,11/ 4/ 8/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: KING KULAFU (6) began fast and was vying for the lead on the first turn before breaking stride and losing his winning chance at Shepparton last week. He won two trials prior to that performance and will take beating if he does everything right. HAIR RAZOR (10) showed a glimpse of his best form when he worked home well for third at Ballarat last week. This is a race of similar quality and he is worth thought again. THEY CALL ME AL (11) finished third at a Melton trial last week and was runner up behind Sunshinefromheaven at Stawell on January 26 so he is not without a chance under these conditions. SPECULATOR (4) didn’t have much luck in the straight when unplaced at Geelong last outing. He worked home well for third at Cranbourne three starts ago and should be competitive against this line up. If the reserve VERY TEMPTING (1) gains a start, he will prove hard to beat. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader) (1), 2 RATINGS: 1,6/ 10,11/ 4/ 8/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: KING KULAFU (6) began fast and was vying for the lead on the first turn before breaking stride and losing his winning chance at Shepparton last week. He won two trials prior to that performance and will take beating if he does everything right. HAIR RAZOR (10) showed a glimpse of his best form when he worked home well for third at Ballarat last week. This is a race of similar quality and he is worth thought again. THEY CALL ME AL (11) finished third at a Melton trial last week and was runner up behind Sunshinefromheaven at Stawell on January 26 so he is not without a chance under these conditions. SPECULATOR (4) didn’t have much luck in the straight when unplaced at Geelong last outing. He worked home well for third at Cranbourne three starts ago and should be competitive against this line up. If the reserve VERY TEMPTING (1) gains a start, he will prove hard to beat. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader) (1), 2 RATINGS: 1,6/ 10,11/ 4/ 8/ field
