RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LE TWIST (4) has been very good in three starts since coming from New Zealand and has been freshened since her latest victory in the Maryborough Cup. She is very strong and will take beating again. THE ANSWER (1) was headed off at the start and got shuffled back on the markers when she had little luck for fifth in a Metropolitan event at Melton. She was competing against the best of her age group last season and is a strong chance if she can hold a forward position at the start. EMILY VINCENT (9) will appreciate a drop back in class on her recent efforts at Metropolitan level and she is much better than her form reads so she warrants respect. HERAKLES (6) is an underrated pacer and has claims along with BULLDOG KHAN (7). EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 4,7 RATINGS: 4/ 1,9/ 6/ 2,5,7
