Race comment
OVERVIEW: OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH (10) will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment after his recent efforts and should prove hard to beat. He ran fourth in the Ballarat Cup on January 18, which is a terrific form reference for this event. FOLLOWTHEACE (3) won four races in succession including the Echuca Cup prior to finishing second at Menangle, where he attempted to lead throughout. He is drawn to lead again and should give a bold showing. SPIRIT OF ARION (8) is resuming since a third at Bendigo in November but he has had a win and a second in two recent trial performances so he must be respected. ARGGGHHH (9) pushed forward to race without cover and battled on strongly for fifth in the Hamilton Cup. He continues to race in consistent form and is worth a ticket each way.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH (10) will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment after his recent efforts and should prove hard to beat. He ran fourth in the Ballarat Cup on January 18, which is a terrific form reference for this event. FOLLOWTHEACE (3) won four races in succession including the Echuca Cup prior to finishing second at Menangle, where he attempted to lead throughout. He is drawn to lead again and should give a bold showing. SPIRIT OF ARION (8) is resuming since a third at Bendigo in November but he has had a win and a second in two recent trial performances so he must be respected. ARGGGHHH (9) pushed forward to race without cover and battled on strongly for fifth in the Hamilton Cup. He continues to race in consistent form and is worth a ticket each way.
