OVERVIEW: OPERATIVE LINE (6) ran a very nice race when fifth in the Horsham Cup two starts ago then didn’t have a great deal of luck from an awkward draw at his latest sixth behind Little Louie at Melton. He is racing better than his form reads and appears to be a good value bet. HES A MEISTER (8) is a handy former New Zealand pacer, which has been racing soundly at Country Cups level across the Tasman. He is a close relation to Major Meister, which has done well in Australia and he produced a big finish to win at Invercargill last outing so he is worth following. He trailed the leader and performed below expectations when third at the trials last week but he should strip fitter from that outing and his form in New Zealand suggests he will be very hard to beat. KENDYS BUTTERFLY (1) is racing in fine form with a close second behind Niki Nah Nah prior to a third in the Ian Daff Memorial. She is a fast beginner and is perfectly drawn so she warrants respect. SLY TERROR (3) and MAJOR MANBAR (5) are both racing well at Metropolitan level and are worth thought in a good race. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 6,8/ 1,3,5/ 7/ 2,4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OPERATIVE LINE (6) ran a very nice race when fifth in the Horsham Cup two starts ago then didn’t have a great deal of luck from an awkward draw at his latest sixth behind Little Louie at Melton. He is racing better than his form reads and appears to be a good value bet. HES A MEISTER (8) is a handy former New Zealand pacer, which has been racing soundly at Country Cups level across the Tasman. He is a close relation to Major Meister, which has done well in Australia and he produced a big finish to win at Invercargill last outing so he is worth following. He trailed the leader and performed below expectations when third at the trials last week but he should strip fitter from that outing and his form in New Zealand suggests he will be very hard to beat. KENDYS BUTTERFLY (1) is racing in fine form with a close second behind Niki Nah Nah prior to a third in the Ian Daff Memorial. She is a fast beginner and is perfectly drawn so she warrants respect. SLY TERROR (3) and MAJOR MANBAR (5) are both racing well at Metropolitan level and are worth thought in a good race. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 6,8/ 1,3,5/ 7/ 2,4

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OPERATIVE LINE (6) ran a very nice race when fifth in the Horsham Cup two starts ago then didn’t have a great deal of luck from an awkward draw at his latest sixth behind Little Louie at Melton. He is racing better than his form reads and appears to be a good value bet. HES A MEISTER (8) is a handy former New Zealand pacer, which has been racing soundly at Country Cups level across the Tasman. He is a close relation to Major Meister, which has done well in Australia and he produced a big finish to win at Invercargill last outing so he is worth following. He trailed the leader and performed below expectations when third at the trials last week but he should strip fitter from that outing and his form in New Zealand suggests he will be very hard to beat. KENDYS BUTTERFLY (1) is racing in fine form with a close second behind Niki Nah Nah prior to a third in the Ian Daff Memorial. She is a fast beginner and is perfectly drawn so she warrants respect. SLY TERROR (3) and MAJOR MANBAR (5) are both racing well at Metropolitan level and are worth thought in a good race. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,4,6 RATINGS: 6,8/ 1,3,5/ 7/ 2,4
