Race comment
OVERVIEW: ANIMADO (5) is dropping back in class and appears to be a strong winning chance. He was extremely wide from the 400m when creditable eighth two starts ago then trailed the leader and missed out narrowly behind Stag Party at Echuca. SHAQ (11) is a tough campaigner and should be competitive despite the poor draw. He worked home well from a rearward position when third behind I’m Wesley last time out. DEUCE COUPE (9) hasn’t been at his peak form since resuming but his last run was encouraging. He showed a bit of dash out very wide on the track looming up to the home turn against stronger opposition so he should be finishing off well under these conditions. REIGN EM IN (2) and IAMAWINGATE (3) are both fast beginners and should be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader) 2,5 RATINGS: 5,11/ 9/ 2,3/ 1,8/ 10

OVERVIEW: ANIMADO (5) is dropping back in class and appears to be a strong winning chance. He was extremely wide from the 400m when creditable eighth two starts ago then trailed the leader and missed out narrowly behind Stag Party at Echuca. SHAQ (11) is a tough campaigner and should be competitive despite the poor draw. He worked home well from a rearward position when third behind I’m Wesley last time out. DEUCE COUPE (9) hasn’t been at his peak form since resuming but his last run was encouraging. He showed a bit of dash out very wide on the track looming up to the home turn against stronger opposition so he should be finishing off well under these conditions. REIGN EM IN (2) and IAMAWINGATE (3) are both fast beginners and should be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader) 2,5 RATINGS: 5,11/ 9/ 2,3/ 1,8/ 10

Race comment
OVERVIEW: ANIMADO (5) is dropping back in class and appears to be a strong winning chance. He was extremely wide from the 400m when creditable eighth two starts ago then trailed the leader and missed out narrowly behind Stag Party at Echuca. SHAQ (11) is a tough campaigner and should be competitive despite the poor draw. He worked home well from a rearward position when third behind I’m Wesley last time out. DEUCE COUPE (9) hasn’t been at his peak form since resuming but his last run was encouraging. He showed a bit of dash out very wide on the track looming up to the home turn against stronger opposition so he should be finishing off well under these conditions. REIGN EM IN (2) and IAMAWINGATE (3) are both fast beginners and should be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader) 2,5 RATINGS: 5,11/ 9/ 2,3/ 1,8/ 10
