OVERVIEW: RUDY GEE (3) went very hard in the early stages and raced fiercely so he had excuses when seventh at Ballarat last outing. His form prior was sound including successive victories at Horsham and Yarra Valley so he is worth another chance. POPCORNFRIDAY (1) settled in the second half of the field and finished off well for third at Melton when resuming since March. He is ideally drawn to trail the leader so he looms as one of the leading chances. OUR LUCIANO (11) is a smart 3yo pacer but his manners have let him down recently and he broke at start when fourth at Shepparton last outing. He has a tough draw to overcome but he should be hitting the line strongly if he gets away safely. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN (8) is a value place chance from his likely position of being three back on the markers. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 3/ 1,11/ 5,7,9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: RUDY GEE (3) went very hard in the early stages and raced fiercely so he had excuses when seventh at Ballarat last outing. His form prior was sound including successive victories at Horsham and Yarra Valley so he is worth another chance. POPCORNFRIDAY (1) settled in the second half of the field and finished off well for third at Melton when resuming since March. He is ideally drawn to trail the leader so he looms as one of the leading chances. OUR LUCIANO (11) is a smart 3yo pacer but his manners have let him down recently and he broke at start when fourth at Shepparton last outing. He has a tough draw to overcome but he should be hitting the line strongly if he gets away safely. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN (8) is a value place chance from his likely position of being three back on the markers. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 3/ 1,11/ 5,7,9

Race comment
OVERVIEW: RUDY GEE (3) went very hard in the early stages and raced fiercely so he had excuses when seventh at Ballarat last outing. His form prior was sound including successive victories at Horsham and Yarra Valley so he is worth another chance. POPCORNFRIDAY (1) settled in the second half of the field and finished off well for third at Melton when resuming since March. He is ideally drawn to trail the leader so he looms as one of the leading chances. OUR LUCIANO (11) is a smart 3yo pacer but his manners have let him down recently and he broke at start when fourth at Shepparton last outing. He has a tough draw to overcome but he should be hitting the line strongly if he gets away safely. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN (8) is a value place chance from his likely position of being three back on the markers. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,4,7 RATINGS: 3/ 1,11/ 5,7,9
