RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG ZAHARA (3) starred throughout her freshman and sophomore seasons, remaining undefeated in fourteen starts and being completely dominant. She makes her season debut against the open class horses so it is no easy task but she won a trial in fast time at Terang last week and should be ready for a big first up performance. IM READY JET (2) is returning from a New Zealand campaign, where she unfortunately broke stride at the 700m and lost her chance at Cambridge. Her Victorian form is outstanding and she will run a big race from her good draw. WATTS UP PARTYTIME (4) won the Great Southern Star earlier in the season and his overall form has been strong. He possesses early speed and should be competitive again. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (1) is a versatile mare that could show up from the pole position. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 3,4,6,7 RATINGS: 3/ 2/ 1,4/ 7
