OVERVIEW: BITTA IRISH LUCK (1) was resuming since April when she finished fast from the second half of the field and got up to defeat MAORIS MAC (5) at Melton last week. She should be even better from that performance and she is likely to end up trailing the leader so she must be considered as a winning chance again. DICHOTOMY (2) attempted to lead throughout when second at Melton three starts ago then followed with a strong win over KYVALLEY MAVEN (10). She is well drawn and her latest effort was against the open class so she must be considered as a winning chance under these conditions. HOPPY (8) is resuming since a fourth in the Victorian Derby in October. He will be fitter from two recent trial efforts, the latest being a win at Terang and he should gain an economical run on the markers. ALRIGHTY (9) worked to the front and was a dominant winner in fast time at Bendigo last outing. He drops back to the second line now but he is building up a good strike rate and is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 4,6,7 RATINGS: 1,2/ 8,9/ 7,10/ 5

She is well drawn and her latest effort was against the open class so she must be considered as a winning chance under these conditions. HOPPY (8) is resuming since a fourth in the Victorian Derby in October. He will be fitter from two recent trial efforts, the latest being a win at Terang and he should gain an economical run on the markers. ALRIGHTY (9) worked to the front and was a dominant winner in fast time at Bendigo last outing. He drops back to the second line now but he is building up a good strike rate and is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 4,6,7 RATINGS: 1,2/ 8,9/ 7,10/ 5

OVERVIEW: BITTA IRISH LUCK (1) was resuming since April when she finished fast from the second half of the field and got up to defeat MAORIS MAC (5) at Melton last week. She should be even better from that performance and she is likely to end up trailing the leader so she must be considered as a winning chance again. DICHOTOMY (2) attempted to lead throughout when second at Melton three starts ago then followed with a strong win over KYVALLEY MAVEN (10). She is well drawn and her latest effort was against the open class so she must be considered as a winning chance under these conditions. HOPPY (8) is resuming since a fourth in the Victorian Derby in October. He will be fitter from two recent trial efforts, the latest being a win at Terang and he should gain an economical run on the markers. ALRIGHTY (9) worked to the front and was a dominant winner in fast time at Bendigo last outing. He drops back to the second line now but he is building up a good strike rate and is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 4,6,7 RATINGS: 1,2/ 8,9/ 7,10/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: BITTA IRISH LUCK (1) was resuming since April when she finished fast from the second half of the field and got up to defeat MAORIS MAC (5) at Melton last week. She should be even better from that performance and she is likely to end up trailing the leader so she must be considered as a winning chance again. DICHOTOMY (2) attempted to lead throughout when second at Melton three starts ago then followed with a strong win over KYVALLEY MAVEN (10). She is well drawn and her latest effort was against the open class so she must be considered as a winning chance under these conditions. HOPPY (8) is resuming since a fourth in the Victorian Derby in October. He will be fitter from two recent trial efforts, the latest being a win at Terang and he should gain an economical run on the markers. ALRIGHTY (9) worked to the front and was a dominant winner in fast time at Bendigo last outing. He drops back to the second line now but he is building up a good strike rate and is worth thought again. EARLY SPEED: 2 (possible leader), 4,6,7 RATINGS: 1,2/ 8,9/ 7,10/ 5
