Race comment
OVERVIEW: BETTORPATCHMEUP (6) settled in the second half of the field and was held up for a run at a vital stage when he finished off well for fifth at Melton last week. He sustained a flat tyre in that performance so his effort was very good and he is worth following against this class. ROCKETS MATE (10) is the emergency for the main Qualifying event and should be competitive against this line up. He shot along the sprint lane to win in a mile of 1.57.2 at Charlton two starts ago then followed with an unlucky third at Maryborough. The stable mates SPORTS WRACK (3) and YAPPAS COURAGE (5) both possess gate speed and will appreciate racing over the sprint distance so they warrant respect. AMORE ROCK (7) is poorly drawn but has too much ability to dismiss. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,5,7 RATINGS: 6,10/ 5,7/ 3,11

OVERVIEW: BETTORPATCHMEUP (6) settled in the second half of the field and was held up for a run at a vital stage when he finished off well for fifth at Melton last week. He sustained a flat tyre in that performance so his effort was very good and he is worth following against this class. ROCKETS MATE (10) is the emergency for the main Qualifying event and should be competitive against this line up. He shot along the sprint lane to win in a mile of 1.57.2 at Charlton two starts ago then followed with an unlucky third at Maryborough.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: BETTORPATCHMEUP (6) settled in the second half of the field and was held up for a run at a vital stage when he finished off well for fifth at Melton last week. He sustained a flat tyre in that performance so his effort was very good and he is worth following against this class. ROCKETS MATE (10) is the emergency for the main Qualifying event and should be competitive against this line up. He shot along the sprint lane to win in a mile of 1.57.2 at Charlton two starts ago then followed with an unlucky third at Maryborough. The stable mates SPORTS WRACK (3) and YAPPAS COURAGE (5) both possess gate speed and will appreciate racing over the sprint distance so they warrant respect.

ROCKETS MATE (10) is the emergency for the main Qualifying event and should be competitive against this line up. He shot along the sprint lane to win in a mile of 1.57.2 at Charlton two starts ago then followed with an unlucky third at Maryborough.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: BETTORPATCHMEUP (6) settled in the second half of the field and was held up for a run at a vital stage when he finished off well for fifth at Melton last week. He sustained a flat tyre in that performance so his effort was very good and he is worth following against this class. ROCKETS MATE (10) is the emergency for the main Qualifying event and should be competitive against this line up. He shot along the sprint lane to win in a mile of 1.57.2 at Charlton two starts ago then followed with an unlucky third at Maryborough. The stable mates SPORTS WRACK (3) and YAPPAS COURAGE (5) both possess gate speed and will appreciate racing over the sprint distance so they warrant respect. AMORE ROCK (7) is poorly drawn but has too much ability to dismiss. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,5,7 RATINGS: 6,10/ 5,7/ 3,11
