OVERVIEW: CRIME WRITER (4) has been racing against much better opposition in recent weeks and gets his chance to break through for a win. He finished fourth behind Triple Eight and Tango Tara in two open class events then finished fifth behind The Narcissist (won again since) at Hamilton. CORAVALLY STAR (10) was driven aggressively from a wide draw and went down fighting when a game second at Maryborough last outing. He recorded a slick mile rate of 1.54.1 when he won at Melton three starts ago and looms as one of the leading chances again. YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (9) is a strong mare that is racing better than her form reads. She took on a field of very good mares when unplaced at Melton last week. FIRST DANCE (8) is awkwardly drawn but she possesses a powerful finishing burst and cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible early leader), 4 RATINGS: 4/ 10/ 8,9/ 1,2,7

Race comment
OVERVIEW: CRIME WRITER (4) has been racing against much better opposition in recent weeks and gets his chance to break through for a win. He finished fourth behind Triple Eight and Tango Tara in two open class events then finished fifth behind The Narcissist (won again since) at Hamilton. CORAVALLY STAR (10) was driven aggressively from a wide draw and went down fighting when a game second at Maryborough last outing. He recorded a slick mile rate of 1.54.1 when he won at Melton three starts ago and looms as one of the leading chances again. YOUNGGIFTEDANDBLACK (9) is a strong mare that is racing better than her form reads. She took on a field of very good mares when unplaced at Melton last week. FIRST DANCE (8) is awkwardly drawn but she possesses a powerful finishing burst and cannot be left out of calculations. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible early leader), 4 RATINGS: 4/ 10/ 8,9/ 1,2,7
