Race comment
OVERVIEW: OORAH (5) continues to build on his strong record having won four of his five starts to date and will take catching over the sprint distance. He is again stepping up in class but his main rivals on paper are drawn on the second line and they will be chasing hard in fast time to try and catch him. CAPTAIN HAMMERHEAD (8) is very awkwardly positioned on the inside of the second line but he is returning from the New South Wales campaign, where he competed in the Paleface Adios Stakes and in the Chariots of Fire. Most of his recent events have been in feature events so he will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment. CLASSIC MISSION (10) remains undefeated in four Australian starts and has been very impressive. This is his toughest test but he is very strong and is capable of taking the next step forward. HITTHEROADJACK (4), SPYGLASS (7) and MELANION (9) are all worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 1,3,4,6 RATINGS: 5/ 8,10/ 4/ 7,9/ 1,6

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OORAH (5) continues to build on his strong record having won four of his five starts to date and will take catching over the sprint distance. He is again stepping up in class but his main rivals on paper are drawn on the second line and they will be chasing hard in fast time to try and catch him. CAPTAIN HAMMERHEAD (8) is very awkwardly positioned on the inside of the second line but he is returning from the New South Wales campaign, where he competed in the Paleface Adios Stakes and in the Chariots of Fire. Most of his recent events have been in feature events so he will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment. CLASSIC MISSION (10) remains undefeated in four Australian starts and has been very impressive. This is his toughest test but he is very strong and is capable of taking the next step forward. HITTHEROADJACK (4), SPYGLASS (7) and MELANION (9) are all worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 5 (likely leader), 1,3,4,6 RATINGS: 5/ 8,10/ 4/ 7,9/ 1,6

CAPTAIN HAMMERHEAD (8) is very awkwardly positioned on the inside of the second line but he is returning from the New South Wales campaign, where he competed in the Paleface Adios Stakes and in the Chariots of Fire. Most of his recent events have been in feature events so he will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment.
