OVERVIEW: LEAP TO FAME (2) put in a phenomenal performance despite being beaten in the A G Hunter Cup last week. He drew on the inside of the second line, made a move to park without cover on the outside of Swayzee and went down fighting in a track record time of 1.51.9 (2760m!). The champion pacer moves to the front line now and will prove almighty hard to beat. MACH DAN (3) is a brilliant beginner and is a good chance of leading out then taking cover behind LEAP TO FAME (2). He has had a run of ordinary barrier draws and is racing better than his form reads so he is a good chance of filling the Quinella position. DON’T STOP DREAMING (6) settled in a rearward position, came out very wide approaching the home turn and worked home well despite finishing seventh (7m) in the A G Hunter Cup. He was runner up in the New Zealand Cup and his form across the Tasman has been very strong so he must be respected. TACT MCLEOD (9) finished a close fourth in the A G Hunter Cup after leading out then taking cover. He was runner up behind LEAP TO FAME (2) in the Casey Classic prior so he looms as one of the leading place chances. Other place hopes include the extremely popular local pacer BULLETPROOF BOY (8) and EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (10). EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 1 RATINGS: 2/ 3,6/ 9/ 8,10/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: LEAP TO FAME (2) put in a phenomenal performance despite being beaten in the A G Hunter Cup last week. He drew on the inside of the second line, made a move to park without cover on the outside of Swayzee and went down fighting in a track record time of 1.51.9 (2760m!). The champion pacer moves to the front line now and will prove almighty hard to beat. MACH DAN (3) is a brilliant beginner and is a good chance of leading out then taking cover behind LEAP TO FAME (2). He has had a run of ordinary barrier draws and is racing better than his form reads so he is a good chance of filling the Quinella position. DON’T STOP DREAMING (6) settled in a rearward position, came out very wide approaching the home turn and worked home well despite finishing seventh (7m) in the A G Hunter Cup. He was runner up in the New Zealand Cup and his form across the Tasman has been very strong so he must be respected. TACT MCLEOD (9) finished a close fourth in the A G Hunter Cup after leading out then taking cover. He was runner up behind LEAP TO FAME (2) in the Casey Classic prior so he looms as one of the leading place chances. Other place hopes include the extremely popular local pacer BULLETPROOF BOY (8) and EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (10). EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 1 RATINGS: 2/ 3,6/ 9/ 8,10/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: LEAP TO FAME (2) put in a phenomenal performance despite being beaten in the A G Hunter Cup last week. He drew on the inside of the second line, made a move to park without cover on the outside of Swayzee and went down fighting in a track record time of 1.51.9 (2760m!). The champion pacer moves to the front line now and will prove almighty hard to beat. MACH DAN (3) is a brilliant beginner and is a good chance of leading out then taking cover behind LEAP TO FAME (2). He has had a run of ordinary barrier draws and is racing better than his form reads so he is a good chance of filling the Quinella position. DON’T STOP DREAMING (6) settled in a rearward position, came out very wide approaching the home turn and worked home well despite finishing seventh (7m) in the A G Hunter Cup. He was runner up in the New Zealand Cup and his form across the Tasman has been very strong so he must be respected. TACT MCLEOD (9) finished a close fourth in the A G Hunter Cup after leading out then taking cover. He was runner up behind LEAP TO FAME (2) in the Casey Classic prior so he looms as one of the leading place chances. Other place hopes include the extremely popular local pacer BULLETPROOF BOY (8) and EXOTIC BUSHRANGER (10). EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 1 RATINGS: 2/ 3,6/ 9/ 8,10/ 1
