Race comment
OVERVIEW: KINGS GUARD (5) continues to impress in winning through the grades and should prove hard to beat again. He overcame a tough run to win the Cobram Cup on Monday and this race is of similar standard. RAPID RETURN (6) is a fast mare and looms as the logical danger. She finished second in the Delvin Dancer Classic then followed with a third behind the top mares Aldebaran Vera and She’s Ruby Roo in an open class event at Melton. This appears to be a suitable assignment and she should be very competitive. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (4) broke stride coming up to the home turn and finished well late for fifth at Cranbourne then motored to the line when an eye-catching third at Bendigo. She will go well if she delivers a fool proof display. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (8) and BERRIESANDCHERRIES (9) are both racing well enough to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible early leader), 2,4 RATINGS: 5,6/ 4/ 8,9/ 3/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: KINGS GUARD (5) continues to impress in winning through the grades and should prove hard to beat again. He overcame a tough run to win the Cobram Cup on Monday and this race is of similar standard. RAPID RETURN (6) is a fast mare and looms as the logical danger. She finished second in the Delvin Dancer Classic then followed with a third behind the top mares Aldebaran Vera and She’s Ruby Roo in an open class event at Melton. This appears to be a suitable assignment and she should be very competitive. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (4) broke stride coming up to the home turn and finished well late for fifth at Cranbourne then motored to the line when an eye-catching third at Bendigo. She will go well if she delivers a fool proof display. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (8) and BERRIESANDCHERRIES (9) are both racing well enough to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible early leader), 2,4 RATINGS: 5,6/ 4/ 8,9/ 3/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: KINGS GUARD (5) continues to impress in winning through the grades and should prove hard to beat again. He overcame a tough run to win the Cobram Cup on Monday and this race is of similar standard. RAPID RETURN (6) is a fast mare and looms as the logical danger. She finished second in the Delvin Dancer Classic then followed with a third behind the top mares Aldebaran Vera and She’s Ruby Roo in an open class event at Melton. This appears to be a suitable assignment and she should be very competitive. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (4) broke stride coming up to the home turn and finished well late for fifth at Cranbourne then motored to the line when an eye-catching third at Bendigo. She will go well if she delivers a fool proof display. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (8) and BERRIESANDCHERRIES (9) are both racing well enough to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible early leader), 2,4 RATINGS: 5,6/ 4/ 8,9/ 3/ 1
