Race comment
OVERVIEW: TRIPLE EIGHT (10) came from last and was very wide on the home turn when a huge second (nose) behind Bach last week, where the last quarter was run in a slick 27.0 seconds. He defeated Catch A Wave at a Melton victory on March 23 and will take holding out in this event. HELLUVA (11) was driven aggressively and ran a brave second behind Dangerous in the Mildura Cup. He led throughout to win the Charlton Cup three starts ago and would be better served to being drawn on the front line but he must be respected on his current form. YAMKUKAN (6) will be suited to competing over the sprint distance and will be fitter from his first up fourth so he warrants consideration. IDEAL ESCAPE (3) will appreciate his best draw for some time and races best when he is able to lead or at least be close to the pace so he should improve on his recent performances. PERFECT STRIDE (4) was held up for a run and had no luck when fifth behind Bach at Melton when resuming. He should be fitter from that run and is worth a ticket each way. KOSIMO (2) can sprint to the line quickly with the right trail forward and is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 5,6,7 RATINGS: 10/ 3,6,11/ 2,4/ 7,9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: TRIPLE EIGHT (10) came from last and was very wide on the home turn when a huge second (nose) behind Bach last week, where the last quarter was run in a slick 27.0 seconds. He defeated Catch A Wave at a Melton victory on March 23 and will take holding out in this event. HELLUVA (11) was driven aggressively and ran a brave second behind Dangerous in the Mildura Cup. He led throughout to win the Charlton Cup three starts ago and would be better served to being drawn on the front line but he must be respected on his current form. YAMKUKAN (6) will be suited to competing over the sprint distance and will be fitter from his first up fourth so he warrants consideration. IDEAL ESCAPE (3) will appreciate his best draw for some time and races best when he is able to lead or at least be close to the pace so he should improve on his recent performances. PERFECT STRIDE (4) was held up for a run and had no luck when fifth behind Bach at Melton when resuming. He should be fitter from that run and is worth a ticket each way. KOSIMO (2) can sprint to the line quickly with the right trail forward and is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 5,6,7 RATINGS: 10/ 3,6,11/ 2,4/ 7,9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: TRIPLE EIGHT (10) came from last and was very wide on the home turn when a huge second (nose) behind Bach last week, where the last quarter was run in a slick 27.0 seconds. He defeated Catch A Wave at a Melton victory on March 23 and will take holding out in this event. HELLUVA (11) was driven aggressively and ran a brave second behind Dangerous in the Mildura Cup. He led throughout to win the Charlton Cup three starts ago and would be better served to being drawn on the front line but he must be respected on his current form. YAMKUKAN (6) will be suited to competing over the sprint distance and will be fitter from his first up fourth so he warrants consideration. IDEAL ESCAPE (3) will appreciate his best draw for some time and races best when he is able to lead or at least be close to the pace so he should improve on his recent performances. PERFECT STRIDE (4) was held up for a run and had no luck when fifth behind Bach at Melton when resuming. He should be fitter from that run and is worth a ticket each way. KOSIMO (2) can sprint to the line quickly with the right trail forward and is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 5,6,7 RATINGS: 10/ 3,6,11/ 2,4/ 7,9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: TRIPLE EIGHT (10) came from last and was very wide on the home turn when a huge second (nose) behind Bach last week, where the last quarter was run in a slick 27.0 seconds. He defeated Catch A Wave at a Melton victory on March 23 and will take holding out in this event. HELLUVA (11) was driven aggressively and ran a brave second behind Dangerous in the Mildura Cup. He led throughout to win the Charlton Cup three starts ago and would be better served to being drawn on the front line but he must be respected on his current form. YAMKUKAN (6) will be suited to competing over the sprint distance and will be fitter from his first up fourth so he warrants consideration. IDEAL ESCAPE (3) will appreciate his best draw for some time and races best when he is able to lead or at least be close to the pace so he should improve on his recent performances. PERFECT STRIDE (4) was held up for a run and had no luck when fifth behind Bach at Melton when resuming. He should be fitter from that run and is worth a ticket each way. KOSIMO (2) can sprint to the line quickly with the right trail forward and is perfectly drawn to suit his racing pattern. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 5,6,7 RATINGS: 10/ 3,6,11/ 2,4/ 7,9
