Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a very good open class event to commence the program with many winning chances. TRIPLE EIGHT (4) has been performing very well in similar grade over the past few months and even though he races best when driven with cover, he might appreciate his first front row draw in a long time so he is worth following. CURLY JAMES (1) didn’t have the best of luck when fifth behind The Lost Storm last outing but he won the Shepparton Cup from the pole position in January and recorded a brilliant mile rate of 1.51.3 when he led throughout to win over this distance at Melton last season so he must be respected. MACH DAN (11) is the class horse of the field but most of his wins have come when he has been able to find the lead so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage. He is resuming since March 02 but he did record handy time at a recent Melton trial victory. HEZA SON OF AGUN (9) is very fast and was a winner under similar conditions three starts ago so he must be respected. TANGO TARA (6) is racing in outstanding form and is tough enough to overcome the wide draw. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,6,7 RATINGS: 1,4/ 9,11/ 6/ 5,7,10/ FIELD

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a very good open class event to commence the program with many winning chances. TRIPLE EIGHT (4) has been performing very well in similar grade over the past few months and even though he races best when driven with cover, he might appreciate his first front row draw in a long time so he is worth following. CURLY JAMES (1) didn’t have the best of luck when fifth behind The Lost Storm last outing but he won the Shepparton Cup from the pole position in January and recorded a brilliant mile rate of 1.51.3 when he led throughout to win over this distance at Melton last season so he must be respected. MACH DAN (11) is the class horse of the field but most of his wins have come when he has been able to find the lead so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage. He is resuming since March 02 but he did record handy time at a recent Melton trial victory. HEZA SON OF AGUN (9) is very fast and was a winner under similar conditions three starts ago so he must be respected. TANGO TARA (6) is racing in outstanding form and is tough enough to overcome the wide draw. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,6,7 RATINGS: 1,4/ 9,11/ 6/ 5,7,10/ FIELD

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a very good open class event to commence the program with many winning chances. TRIPLE EIGHT (4) has been performing very well in similar grade over the past few months and even though he races best when driven with cover, he might appreciate his first front row draw in a long time so he is worth following. CURLY JAMES (1) didn’t have the best of luck when fifth behind The Lost Storm last outing but he won the Shepparton Cup from the pole position in January and recorded a brilliant mile rate of 1.51.3 when he led throughout to win over this distance at Melton last season so he must be respected. MACH DAN (11) is the class horse of the field but most of his wins have come when he has been able to find the lead so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage. He is resuming since March 02 but he did record handy time at a recent Melton trial victory. HEZA SON OF AGUN (9) is very fast and was a winner under similar conditions three starts ago so he must be respected. TANGO TARA (6) is racing in outstanding form and is tough enough to overcome the wide draw. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,6,7 RATINGS: 1,4/ 9,11/ 6/ 5,7,10/ FIELD

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a very good open class event to commence the program with many winning chances. TRIPLE EIGHT (4) has been performing very well in similar grade over the past few months and even though he races best when driven with cover, he might appreciate his first front row draw in a long time so he is worth following. CURLY JAMES (1) didn’t have the best of luck when fifth behind The Lost Storm last outing but he won the Shepparton Cup from the pole position in January and recorded a brilliant mile rate of 1.51.3 when he led throughout to win over this distance at Melton last season so he must be respected. MACH DAN (11) is the class horse of the field but most of his wins have come when he has been able to find the lead so being drawn on the second line is a disadvantage. He is resuming since March 02 but he did record handy time at a recent Melton trial victory. HEZA SON OF AGUN (9) is very fast and was a winner under similar conditions three starts ago so he must be respected. TANGO TARA (6) is racing in outstanding form and is tough enough to overcome the wide draw. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 2,6,7 RATINGS: 1,4/ 9,11/ 6/ 5,7,10/ FIELD
