Race comment
OVERVIEW: OZZIE PUNTA (4) is racing in good form and should give a bold showing. He copped plenty of pressure in the leading role and battled on strongly for third behind Lincoln River in a mile rate of 1.54.4 at Maryborough last outing. ISTHISJUSTFANTASY (6) is a very fast mare, which has won six of her ten starts. She finished off strongly in a slick mile rate of 1.53.3 last outing and looms as one of the leading chances again. COURAGEOUS SAINT (11) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and finished quickly when an eye-catching second at Melton two starts ago so he is worth a ticket each way. QUADDIE VC (1) began quickly to lead and was run down over the latter stages when sixth at his Australian debut. He should be fitter and this race is slightly easier so an improved effort is expected. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,3,4 RATINGS: 4,6/ 11/ 1,10/ 2,3,9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OZZIE PUNTA (4) is racing in good form and should give a bold showing. He copped plenty of pressure in the leading role and battled on strongly for third behind Lincoln River in a mile rate of 1.54.4 at Maryborough last outing. ISTHISJUSTFANTASY (6) is a very fast mare, which has won six of her ten starts. She finished off strongly in a slick mile rate of 1.53.3 last outing and looms as one of the leading chances again. COURAGEOUS SAINT (11) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and finished quickly when an eye-catching second at Melton two starts ago so he is worth a ticket each way. QUADDIE VC (1) began quickly to lead and was run down over the latter stages when sixth at his Australian debut. He should be fitter and this race is slightly easier so an improved effort is expected. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,3,4 RATINGS: 4,6/ 11/ 1,10/ 2,3,9
