Race comment
OVERVIEW: BANKSOFTHEMURRAY (12) has a tough draw to overcome but he is racing in dynamic form and is ready to break through for a win. He worked hard to find the lead and copped plenty of pressure throughout when a brave second in the Stawell Cup then went down fighting after racing without cover throughout last week. NAKULA (5) has returned from a break in peak form with a first up victory followed by two placed performances. She attempted to lead throughout when third behind the smart filly Sweetnikkilou last week so she must be respected. LUVA SCRAP (2) finished off strongly when a close third last week and is drawn to receive every chance. POPCORNFRIDAY (3) performed nicely at his past two attempts and has the early speed to be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,5,7 RATINGS: 12/ 5/ 2,3/ 10/ 7,9,11

OVERVIEW: BANKSOFTHEMURRAY (12) has a tough draw to overcome but he is racing in dynamic form and is ready to break through for a win. He worked hard to find the lead and copped plenty of pressure throughout when a brave second in the Stawell Cup then went down fighting after racing without cover throughout last week. NAKULA (5) has returned from a break in peak form with a first up victory followed by two placed performances. She attempted to lead throughout when third behind the smart filly Sweetnikkilou last week so she must be respected. LUVA SCRAP (2) finished off strongly when a close third last week and is drawn to receive every chance.

OVERVIEW: BANKSOFTHEMURRAY (12) has a tough draw to overcome but he is racing in dynamic form and is ready to break through for a win. He worked hard to find the lead and copped plenty of pressure throughout when a brave second in the Stawell Cup then went down fighting after racing without cover throughout last week. NAKULA (5) has returned from a break in peak form with a first up victory followed by two placed performances. She attempted to lead throughout when third behind the smart filly Sweetnikkilou last week so she must be respected. LUVA SCRAP (2) finished off strongly when a close third last week and is drawn to receive every chance. POPCORNFRIDAY (3) performed nicely at his past two attempts and has the early speed to be prominent throughout. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 2,5,7 RATINGS: 12/ 5/ 2,3/ 10/ 7,9,11
